title: Maternity record: initial report on a national experience (Colombia).
abstract: The International Fertility Research Program, in cooperation with the Government of Colombia, drew a random sample of urban hospitals in which obstetric deliveries take place. Data were collected on a sample of the deliveries. Hospitals were divided into six types: university, university maternity, social security and three sizes of general hospitals. These groups of hospitals are compared with respect to the proportion of high-risk patients admitted, intervention rates and perinatal mortality rates.
