“…[16] Similar study done by Throsell M et al showed that among the induced women, the proportions of delivery by emergency cesarean section were 42% for nulliparous and 14% for multiparous. [17] The randomized controlled trial (RCT) done by Augensen K et al [18] in 1987 showed that instrumental deliveries were 10.2% in induction group which is much more than in our study. It has been thought that there is more chances of cesarean section for failed induction in case of induced labor.…”

Background: Induction is defined as artificial initiation of uterine contraction with the aim of achieving the normal vaginal delivery. It is most widely accepted obstetrical intervention worldwide. The most common indication for induction is post dated pregnancy. Objective: To assess the outcome of induction in both mother and baby. Methods: During our study period, 391 patients were selected for induction due to various indications. Most of them were induced with tablet Misoprostol and only those with higher degree of gravida were induced with Dinoprostone gel intracervically and maternal and fetal outcome was seen.Results: Out of 4020 patients, induction rate was 9.72%. Among them 98.2% were induced with Misoprostol. Most of the induced age group was in between 20-30 years of age with primigravida 62%. Among them 48.59% were in between 40-41 weeks of gestation with 93% of having poor bishops score. About 67.7% had normal vaginal delivery with 4.86%, assisted with instrumental delivery. Cesarean section was seen in 32.3% of patients. Most common indications for LSCS were for failed induction (44%). Regarding the fetal outcome 99.7% born alive, 97.92% went to mother side, 2.07% admitted and 0.51% expired. Beside this, 88.7% had birth weight between 2.5 to 3.5 kg and 87.4% had clear liquor and 99.22% had the good apgar score. Conclusion: Though the cesarean section rate is higher in this study in comparison of WHO references to be not more than 15% but still the induction is beneficial in high-risk pregnancy where continuing the pregnancy is more hazardous than to termination.
