Grossesses à bas risque : interventions obstétricales selon les caractéristiques de la maternité en 2010. Études et résultats, 897, DREES/INSERM.

More than one in two women with low-risk pregnancies (52%) had at least one obstetric intervention (induction of labor, caesarean section, instrumental extraction, episiotomy) in 2010. The likelihood of having an intervention is not higher in the larger maternities. It is, however, in private maternities.
