Holy crap, the hospital closest to me is at 64% !!!
The one I will likely deliver at is at 33.5%, much better!
I've already had two vaginal births but I have issues with preclampsia so some physician's like to do an elective Csection which I wouldn't want.
Such a huge difference. -
33.7%, however it's a very large, metro area hospital where a lot of women have scheduled, elective c-sections.

@erinpye: Are you able to see if that's a "risk adjusted rate" or is that they're straight rate?
Gosh seeing all of these rates & many of them being "total" rates just makes me more upset about our hospitals "risk-adjusted rate" UGH!

Man they don't even post Georgia. Is it it just me or is Washington DC not listed. I mean I know it's a district and all, but they count too!

There are a lot of other factors that go into this that you can't see in a simple percentage. One of the hospitals with the lowest rates in my city is NOT a hospital I would want to use for any reason. You couldn't pay me enough to give birth there even if their c-section rate was 1%.

Looks like Wisconsin is just over 25% overall (which I feel pretty good about, since it seems that the latest stat is most states are over 30%).
The latest stats (2009) say my hospital is 26.9%.
