CONTRIBUTIONWhat are the novel findings of this work? In this study, we developed an integrated and comprehensive prediction model for assessing the risk of Cesarean delivery in pregnancies with a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetus undergoing induction of labor, based on variables known at the time of admission.
What are the clinical implications of this work?Clinicians may use these risk factors to guide patient counseling and to help anticipate the potential need for Cesarean delivery, or additional neonatal support at the time of birth, in pregnancies with a SGA fetus undergoing induction of labor.
ABSTRACTObjectives To identify risk factors for Cesarean delivery and non-reassuring fetal heart tracing (NRFHT) in pregnancies with a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetus undergoing induction of labor and to design and validate a prediction model, combining antenatal and intrapartum variables known at the time of labor induction, to identify pregnancies at increased risk of Cesarean delivery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
