Nearby hospitals: maternity outcomes
A comparable Leapfrog measure is the low-risk, first-birth cesarean rate. Lower is generally preferable for this specific measure, but does not determine the best hospital for every pregnancy.
NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull: 18.9% low-risk cesarean; 1.7% episiotomy; 1,339 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center: 32.6% low-risk cesarean; 3.3% episiotomy; 1,106 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst: 27.7% low-risk cesarean; 1.9% episiotomy; 2,621 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
