Factors influencing availability of local hospital guideline on maternal care and fetal post-mortem work-up
Availability of local hospital guideline on maternal care and fetal post-mortem work-up was found to be strongly correlated to regular conduction of post-mortem consultations (p =0.012). However, neither type of institution (p =0.613), on-site pathology department (p =0.177), nor institutional annual live birth (p =0.291) and stillbirth rates (p =0.438), respectively, were found to influence the availability of local hospital guidelines.
