Data from 125 index and 125 control cases were analysed. A total of 74% of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;Chinese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;women had little or no understanding of English. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;Chinese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;women were more likely to be non-smokers, have a lower BMI and be unemployed than their British counterparts (p&amp;lt;0.001). They booked later (21.01 vs 15.35 weeks, p&amp;lt;0.0001) and attended on average one less antenatal clinic than controls (p&amp;lt;0.001).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;Chinese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;women were also less likely to deliver by caesarean section (p&amp;lt;0.05), but more likely to have a perineal tear (p&amp;lt;0.005). Pre-defined risk, gestation at delivery, birth weight, duration of labour, estimated blood loss and mean 5 min Apgar scores were comparable in both groups (p&amp;gt;0.05). In conclusion, there are significant differences in access to healthcare and the method of delivery, but overall, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;obstetric&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;outcomes of both ethnic groups are highly similar. This may be due to the 'healthy immigrant effect' or the increased use of interpreters and linkworkers in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;obstetric&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;healthcare.&lt;/span&gt;
