A comparable Leapfrog measure is the low-risk, first-birth cesarean rate. Lower is generally preferable for this specific measure, but does not determine the best hospital for every pregnancy.
Mount Sinai West: 29.9% low-risk cesarean; 2.3% episiotomy; 5,011 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
NYU Langone Tisch Hospital: 28.4% low-risk cesarean; 2.6% episiotomy; 5,249 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.
