Merrer J, Le Ray C, Bonnet C, et al. - Using the 2016 National Perinatal Survey, a cross-sectional population-based survey, researchers sought to evaluate the proportion of women who overuse antenatal care and the associations of overuse with maternal characteristics and the qualifications of healthcare providers. This investigation was carried out in all maternity units in France. The sample consisted of 13,132 women. Data reported that 19.2% of low-risk women had at least 12 visits and 30.5% at least 6 ultrasounds after women with inadequate care were excluded. Overuse of antenatal care is very common in France and is associated with some maternal characteristics as well as the qualification of the care provider. Antenatal care should be tailored to women's needs, particularly primiparae and those in poor health, as well as available medical resources.
