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/Bellevue: 23.6% low-risk cesarean; 0.5% episiotomy; 1,533 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
NYU Langone Tisch Hospital: 28.4% low-risk cesarean; 2.6% episiotomy; 5,249 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center: 32.6% low-risk cesarean; 3.3% episiotomy; 1,106 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
Published Leapfrog hospital-level maternity measures; not individual midwife outcomes. Reporting periods and patient mix may differ.
