Birth injuries to mother or child are infrequent in Norway, but very serious to all patients and their families. The consequences of an asphyxiated child might be severe, and the payouts from the Norwegian System of Compensation to Patients (NPE) are huge. These payouts may compensate some of the economical expenses, but neither the physical sequela nor the social consequences. Despite this fact, the information concerning these cases has not previously been described. Evaluating the 278 obstetric claims receiving compensation between January 1st 1994 and November 13th 2008, we found that sphincter injury, injury of intestines or urinary tract, hemorrhage and infection were the most common injuries of the mother. Asphyxia and sequela after shoulder dystocia were the most common injuries of the child. | | Eier: | HELSTILS |
