Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant association for different factors but these they were not confirmed when multivariate analysis was applied. The risk factors were the home as foreseen place for childbirth w = 34.8 (p = 0.0); OR = 31.7 (CI = 10.1; 99.8) and prenatal attention supplier w = 7.0 (p = 0.0); OR = 0.1 (CI = 0.0; 0.5).The home as foreseen place for childbirth and prenatal attention supplier were the factors which were highly associated with home childbirth.
