Claims with maternal and newborn injury (n = 7) were excluded from statistical comparisons between these groups. * P < 0.001 compared to same dependent variable in maternal death/brain damage group. Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons. Proportions compared by z test; payment amounts compared by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
