Physicians had more antenatal ultrasounds and invasive prenatal testing, received labour anaesthesia more often and were more often delivered by their own care provider. In adjusted analyses, physicians and non-physicians had a similar risk of C-section (aRR 0.97, 95%\u2009CI 0.93 to 1.00, p=0.07). There was no difference in neonatal urgent care contacts; non-physicians had a higher risk of maternal urgent postpartum care (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 1.22, 95%\u2009CI 1.08 to 1.37, p&lt;0.0001).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014\u00a0Physicians and non-physicians of similar age and with similar pregnancy characteristics had a comparable rate of C-section, which may be related to a lack of cost drivers for C-section in Ontario.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objective\u00a0\u2014\u00a0We compared processes of antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum care and obstetrical outcomes between physicians and non-physicians.
