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/Elmhurst: 27.7% low-risk cesarean; 1.9% episiotomy; 2,621 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center: 33.3% low-risk cesarean; 0.2% episiotomy; 1,538 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
