Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

7.3K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Normal Distribution

18.6K
The normal, a continuous distribution, is the most important of all the distributions. Its graph is a bell-shaped symmetrical curve, which is observed in almost all disciplines. Some of these include psychology, business, economics, the sciences, nursing, and, of course, mathematics. Some instructors may use the normal distribution to help determine students’ grades. Most IQ scores are normally distributed. Often real-estate prices fit a normal distribution. The normal distribution is...

    Area of Science:

    • Maternal Health
    • Obstetrics
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Physiologic birth practices are evidence-supported but lack a clear definition in the U.S.
    • A consensus definition and best practices for normal physiologic birth are needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a consensus definition of normal physiologic birth.
    • To identify best practices that support normal physiologic birth.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Delphi approach involving a 21-member task force from midwifery and advocacy groups.
    • Multiple iterative rounds of anonymous data collection, content analysis, and ranking.
    • Feedback from a wider audience of stakeholders at national and international conferences.

    Main Results:

    • Four key themes emerged: definitions, mechanisms/outcomes, influencing factors, and recommendations for normal physiologic birth.
    • A multi-organizational consensus statement was created based on these themes.

    Conclusions:

    • The consensus statement provides a template for education, practice, and research in maternity care.
    • This initiative aims to promote systemic changes supporting normal physiologic birth.
    • The project has the potential to improve maternal and infant outcomes.
