Fig. 2. Liability associated with injuries in 1990 and later obstetric claims (n = 426). White bars = proportion of payment by all parties. Hatched bars = proportion of payment on behalf of anesthesiologist. Black bars = proportion of substandard care. Median payment by all parties is shown in 2007 dollars above bars showing payments. Missing data are excluded from payment proportions and amounts  1. 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.
