Induced Labor

01/01/1998 - "This preliminary report indicates that the balloon catheter method might be a well-tolerated, safe, and effective method for induction of labor after rupture of the membranes at term."
10/01/2023 - "Here, we present evidence from randomized controlled trials and a recent meta-analysis indicating that an immediate induction of labor in term premature rupture of membranes is associated with several maternal and neonatal benefits compared with expectant management, without increasing the risk of cesarean delivery. "
01/01/2023 - "This study aimed to identify the optimal timing of labor induction among women with term prelabor rupture of membranes by comparing the maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with labor induction with those of expectant management at any given 1-hour interval following prelabor rupture of membranes. "
01/01/2023 - "Optimal timing of labor induction after prelabor rupture of membranes at term: a secondary analysis of the TERMPROM study."
01/01/2023 - "This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of children born after singleton pregnancies complicated by late preterm prelabor rupture of membranes managed by induction of labor in comparison with expectant management. "

09/01/2018 - "In mild pre-eclampsia, induction of labor at term is beneficial for mother, but there is no difference in neonatal outcome in the two modes of management."
01/01/2023 - "Randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of individuals with preeclampsia with severe features undergoing labor induction between 220/7 and 416/7 weeks gestation. "
06/01/2021 - "A case-control study was performed in the year 2015-2019 where we enrolled 1000 pregnant women with preeclampsia admitted either in labor or for induction of labor in the study group and 1000 pregnant women without preeclampsia either in labor or admitted for induction of labor at term gestation in the control group. "
05/01/2020 - "The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of preeclampsia on induction of labor at term. "
02/01/2012 - "The study group had statistically significantly more cases of preeclampsia, abnormal Dopplers, induction of labor, and cesarean sections, with its placentas lighter and with more common other hypoxic lesions than in the control-group placentas. "

01/01/2017 - "Neither the AFI nor the SDP is superior in identifying oligohydramnios, but the SDP is a better measurement choice as the use of AFI increases the diagnosis rate of oligohydramnios and labor inductions without an improvement in pregnancy outcomes."
01/01/2016 - "To investigate whether isolated oligohydramnios at term is associated with increased rates of perinatal morbidity and mortality and whether induction of labor in term pregnancies with isolated oligohydramnios is superior to conservative management in reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality. "
11/01/2011 - "The use of the single deepest pocket compared to the AFI to identify oligohydramnios in at-risk pregnancies seems to be a better choice because the use of the AFI leads to an increase in the diagnosis of oligohydramnios, resulting in more labor inductions and cesarean deliveries without any improvement in peripartum outcomes."
07/16/2008 - "The single deepest vertical pocket measurement in the assessment of amniotic fluid volume during fetal surveillance seems a better choice since the use of the amniotic fluid index increases the rate of diagnosis of oligohydramnios and the rate of induction of labor without improvement in peripartum outcomes. "
01/01/2017 - "Study Design We conducted a secondary analysis of women with oligohydramnios undergoing labor induction in the Consortium on Safe Labor study (2002-2008). "

08/01/2005 - "The purpose of this study was to examine the temporal change in fetal death risk in the US from 1991 to 1997, and to assess the extent to which changes in registration practices and labor induction have contributed to that change. "
01/01/2023 - "A high increase in labor inductions was accompanied by a modest decline in fetal deaths, but no decline in other adverse perinatal outcomes. "
10/01/2022 - "To evaluate clinical differences in the safety of dilation and evacuation (D&E) and induction of labor (IOL) for the treatment of intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) between 14 and 24 weeks gestation. "
10/01/2022 - "Rates of complication for dilation and evacuation versus induction of labor in treatment of second trimester intrauterine fetal demise."
06/01/2022 - "One unexpected intrapartum fetal death occurred after labor induction. "

10/01/2018 - "The present study suggested that acupuncture applied at term of pregnancy seems to be effective in reducing the rate of labor induction which is performed for prolonged pregnancy at 41 + 5 weeks. "
01/01/2019 - "Out of 19 patients included in the study, 9 had prolonged pregnancies, 14 had spontaneous labor (including 8 at term), 3 had cesarean section before going into labor and 2 had labor induction. "
06/01/2014 - "The present study demonstrated that acupuncture applied every odd day for one week seems ineffective in reducing the rate of labor induction performed for prolonged pregnancy at 41 + 5 weeks. "
09/01/2012 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of specific variations in health caregiver communication on women's preferences for induction of labor for prolonged pregnancy. "
12/01/2011 - "On the contrary, limited conclusions about associations between prolonged pregnancies and labor inductions are due to insufficient data and the lack of high quality studies. "
