Duration of hospitalisation for delivery
For the unmerged stays, the mean length of stay for a vaginal delivery is 4.8 days (P10=
2 days; P50=5 days; P90= 6 days). The mean LoS for a caesarean delivery is 8.2 days
(P10= 5 days; P50= 7 days; P90=11 days).
These LoS differ slightly from those computed for the merged stays as shown in graph
XX. For the unmerged stays, the higher number of stays with low LoS is also translated
into a P10 = 2 lower than P10 = 3 for the merged stays. The higher number of stays
with longer LoS for the c-section is described by a difference in P90 = 11 days for the
unmerged stays and P90 = 9 days for the merged stays.

Ante-and postpartum hospitalisations
This information is not available for unmerged stays; the link between different stays of
the same women in different institution can not be done without IMA/AIM information.
Ten most frequent ICD-9-CM codes by mode of delivery
As mentioned in the methodology section, each woman has only one main diagnosis per
specialty, but can have more than one secondary diagnosis.
Among unmerged stays, 55.26% have more than one secondary diagnosis against 48.9%
for the merged stays.
The detailed frequencies of these codes are presented in the tables underneath.
These tables give an overview of the coded pathologies.
