Collie Hospital Statistics
PBB is unable to find separate statistics for individual hospitals in Western Australia. The following statistics are from Western Australia as a whole.
How a woman’s labour starts influences the chance interventions in labour. If labour starts spontaneously, there is less likelihood of interventions. In addition, if a woman has an induction of labour there is an increased chance of further interventions. In the above graph, spontaneous labour refers to labour that starts on its own. Furthermore, please note that Western Australia statistics did not tell us if spontaneous labour is artificially sped up with medication or breaking of the bag of water. Therefore, this graph’s spontaneous labour includes labours sped up by medical intervention.
Induction of labour in PBB’s graph refers to one or more of the following interventions used to start labour:
- Artificial rupture of membranes
- Balloon catheter to open the cervix
- Prostaglandins placed in the vagina
- Synthetic oxytocin drug to start or speed up labour
No labour is when a woman has an elective (non-emergency) caesarean before labour starts.
There’s no available data on How Labour Started in 2015 and 2020. Please contact us if you have access to the statistics for the missing years.
Since 1985, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended countries keep the caesarean birth rate between 10–15% to ensure mortality rates are kept low for mothers and babies (WHO’s last statement update was April 2015). Since 1995 the cesarean birth rate has increased every year across Australia. In 2010 the Cesarean birth rate in Western Australia was more than double the WHO recommendation.
A small number of breech babies are born vaginally. Instrumental births include forceps birth and vacuum extraction. The caesarean birth rate includes both elective (planned) and emergency (unplanned) caesarean births.
Please note that even though there is a dramatic increase in interventions in labour and caesarean birth – there is no change in the perinatal death rate.
PBB attained the data in the statistics from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
