This is very interesting about how stats are
affected by the way things are reported. And are these stats then used to
argue the case for un-necessary interventions?
If records & stats are going to be
kept they must be accurate! How are people supposed to trust
what they're told by the medical profession when it's based on stuff like
this?

CPD is certainly overdiagnosed. I believe it is a
'diagnosis' used to cover a multitude of sins/excuses. One example; recently
we had a primigravida have a planned C/S for CPD. She was a robust healthy
woman with a smallish built husband. How one diagnoses CPD in a primigravida
unless there is a grossly contracted/abnormal pelvis is a mystery to me. I did
some digging & found out she was sick of herself at 39 weeks and requested
a C/S! CPD was the reason supplied for the C/S. This is skewing the stats for
CPD and is a misrepresentation of the real picture. She had a social C/S and
that should have been recorded.

Hi listers,
A ?
Do you think CPD is overdiagnosed ? If so how often would this
misdiagnosis occur do you think ? Plus how often is it wrong ?
Any idea where I'd find this info ??
