Exactly. The determination is usually made with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.

Even with hindsight, I would've thought that most cases would be arguable depending on professional opinion. It's the same with "potentially preventable readmissions" - no one has a particularly strong claim on what that actually means

I would class "defensive" C-sections pretty squarely in this category (i.e. those where the decision is informed more by concerns around litigation rather than by clinical need or expertise) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3096673/ …

I think there is likely something to that. Regional differences are probably substantial.
