Supplemental material of interest to our readers

We appreciate the opportunity provided by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology to present summary data graphs (forest plots) for our metaanalysis of planned home vs planned hospital births. Figures 1-21 are presented in the order that the data were described in the original manuscripts’ Tables 2 and 3 (maternal and neonatal outcomes, respectively). In the course of constructing the graphs we identified minor data entry discrepancies that did not impact any statistical or clinical significance in the overall or sensitivity analyses, each of which was repeated. Corrected graphs correspond to the Table below. Graphing software was graciously provided by Clark O, Djulbegovic B. Forest plots in Excel software, 2001 (data sheet, Excel; Microsoft, Redmond, WA).
