Abstract

Aims: This study analyzes factors contributing to traditional home birth delivery from 4 different continents - Asia, North America, Australia and Africa. Methods: Of the 100 studies extracted from search engines such as PubMed from 2009 to 2017, only four were selected. A PRISMA guideline was used to eliminate other studies. Probabilities, percentile ranking and frequencies numerically analyzed the studies selected addressing factors affecting home birth delivery. Outcomes: The factors affecting home birth delivery were significant (p=0.54). There were four significant factors influencing home birth delivery worldwide: (1) lack of transportation (16.4% out of n=274); (2) safety and comfort (32% out of n=160); lack of access to facilities (96.5% out of n=275) lack of funds (58% out of n=9,152); and lack of funds (58% out of n=9,152).
