A midwifery critical analysis of: A retrospective cohort study of the association between midwifery experience and perinatal mortality (Lawton et al., 2015). ERRATUM

Abstract:

Erratum: An error was made in our original article where the P value of 0.329 was attributed to the single category of midwives with < 1 year of experience, suggesting that no association was found. Instead, this P value related to the global test of differences by category, and was not statistically significant. The hypothesis test for trend according to years of experience resulted in a P value of P=0.031, a statistically significant finding of an association. This infers a need for more exploration. Future research is warranted and must address issues of bias, confounding and be relevant to the current context in order to gain a clearer understanding of the issue in question. The importance of involving New Zealand research midwives during this process cannot be overstated.
