Article Abstract
Objective(s): To use the delivery site according to the birth weight as a marker of changes in the referral practices after regionalisation of perinatal care.
Study Design: Analysis of the distribution of low birth weight infants according to the level of care in Rhone-Alpes from 1998 to 2000 and analysis of the birth rate heterogeneity according to the delivery site characteristics.
Results: The distribution of infants
Conclusion(s): Supervising level 3 is insufficient to show the effect of regionalisation. A more accurate analysis of intermediate-risk referral determinants is needed to reach a more demand/supply adequacy.
