The number of women in each category of Robson criteria prebirth according to the patient record is indicated in the blue column. The yellow, green, and red columns match the colors of the pathways of the algorithm, HCP-S2S-IA. Green indicates best practice, yellow indicates a practice that should be reviewed, and red indicates dyads who left the best practice pathway. The dyads with missing data are recorded as “Para unrecorded.” These incomplete dyads are not included in the count, and are not included in the Algorithm.
