Abstract
|
|
|
|
It has been demonstrated that risk-appropriate perinatal and obstetric care can improve perinatal morbidity and mortality. Recently, various studies focus on the importance of evaluation for maternal conditions and allocation of high risk pregnant women to highly qualified facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the conceptualized framework for levels of obstetric care and establish the guidelines for the situations that should be cared in each level of facility. In this review article, we reviewed several classifications of obstetric care in eastern and western countries, and conditions in which transfer should be recommended depending on the risk and capacity of centers.
