Association and risk factors between induction of labor and cesarean section

Abstract

Labor induction with PGE2 is associated with increased risk of CS. These data should be taken into consideration when deciding on labor induction, especially in the absence of clear medical indication.

Risk factors and between-hospital variation of caesarean section in Denmark: a cohort study

“…It is possible that most of the risk factors in our study may not have had an independent, direct causal effect on the CS proportion, even if they were highly significant. For example, the risk factor of labour induction 24 may be linked to a latent unknown status of ‘problematic delivery’, which in turn is linked to CS probability. The lack of knowledge about the decision for CS is another weakness of this study.…”

Induction of labor before 40 weeks is associated with lower rate of cesarean delivery in women with gestational diabetes mellitus

“…This analysis was repeated within a subgroup of nulliparous women, because parity is a major determinant of the success of labor induction. 28 In addition, because we did not have data about the Bishop's cervix score (which is associated with the likelihood ajog.org OBSTETRICS Original Research of successful induction), we assumed that variation in this score would likely be low among nulliparous women. 29 Data were analyzed using the SAS statistical software (version 9.4; SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).…”

Revisit of risk factors for major obstetric hemorrhage: insights from a large medical center

“…However, multifetal gestations, induction of labor, and instrumental delivery are conceivably among the significant risk factors for major obstetric hemorrhage that might be modifiable [32][33][34].…”
