“…In contrast to our findings, many previous observational studies reported associations between delivery following IOL, as compared to delivery following spontaneous labour, and higher rates of various adverse birth outcomes [43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. However, studies comparing the outcomes of "indicated" IOL to the outcomes of spontaneous labour provide little useful information because, in the presence of an accepted indication, there is generally no choice but to initiate IOL [49,50].…”

Objective: Associations have been recently reported between the regular use of risk-based term labor induction and improvements in birth outcomes. We wanted to study the use of this approach in an Italian hospital. Design: Retrospective Cohort StudySetting: The Mandic Hospital, in Merate, Italy, from March 2009 through July 2010.Population: All pregnant women delivering at term who met study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methods:The "exposed" group was comprised of women cared for and delivered by providers who regularly offered risk-based term labor induction. The "nonexposed" group was comprised of women cared for and delivered by providers who followed the "expectant management" approach to risk. Prenatal, intrapartum and outcome data for the two cohorts were collected and compared. Main outcome measures:Cesarean delivery rate and weighted Adverse Outcome Index (AOI) Score. Results:The exposed group (n=120), as compared to the non-exposed group (n=159), had a higher induction rate, a lower cesarean rate (1.7% vs. 43.4%, aOR 0.04, CI [0.01-0.22]), and a numerically lower weighted Adverse Outcome Index Score (0.4 vs. 6.1, p=0.61). Two cases of term stillbirth occurred in the non-exposed group. No adverse birth outcome occurred with greater frequency in the exposed group. Conclusion:In this Italian hospital, and consistent with previous studies, exposure to the regular use of risk-based term labor induction was associated with a more favorable set of birth outcomes. Randomised clinical trials are needed to further explore this alternative approach.

“…2,3 Birth by caesarean delivery is generally more hazardous than a normal vaginal delivery, and also poses more risks for subsequent pregnancies. 4,5 Therefore, it is hypothesized that prediction of the success rate of induction of labour might lead to a reduction in caesarean delivery and there by its complications. The relation between clinical state of cervix and spontaneous onset of labour has been known for many years.…”

Background: The aim of induction of labour is to achieve vaginal delivery in advance of the normal timing of parturition and to avoid operative delivery. The objective was to study the incidence of instrumental delivery and cesarean section in nulliparous women with unfavourable bishops score at term.Methods: This study was conducted on 200 patients in nulliparous women with unfavourable bishop score, cephalic presentation and no previous history of abortion.Results: The most frequent cause of induction of labour was postdatism (47.5%) followed by PIH (25.5%) and PROM (13%). 143 (71.5%) women had normal vaginal delivery whereas in 54 women (27%) cesarean section was done. 2 women (1%) had forceps application for delivery and remaining 1 women (0.5%) had ventouse delivery. Out of 200 patients 9 had maternal complication of induction of labour.Conclusions: In present study 71.5% women had normal vaginal delivery, 27% had cesarean section. Mean bishop score at induction was 3.31 which improved to 4.0 after 12 hours of gel instillation. The mean induction to delivery interval was 13.38 hrs in present study, 54.5% patients were delivered within 12 hours of gel instillation in this study. Most common indication of cesarean section was failed progress followed by fetal distress.

“…In some countries, 10% of all deliveries are electively induced. [1][2][3][4] This increase has been attributed to greater demand by mothers and to logistic factors such as distance from the maternal dwelling to the hospital or a history of precipitate delivery. [4][5][6] In addition, elective induction to suit the obstetrician's schedule has been a contributing factor since the first half of the 20th century.…”

“…women with the cervix in a posterior position, firm, poorly effaced and dilated, and with the fetus in a high station). 1,[10][11][12] A caesarean section is usually performed after elective induction with an unripe cervix for the following indications: prolonged first stage of labour, fetal distress, failure to progress and intrapartum haemorrhage. [13][14][15] Some adverse maternal outcomes have been associated with elective induction of labour.…”
