Abstract | AIM: MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Three hundred and twenty-four pregnant women who underwent pharmacological induction of labor with prostaglandins were divided into nine groups through indication of labor induction. Statistical analysis was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to assess the normal distribution of variables, Kruskal-Wallis test for comparisons of non-parametric continuous variables, univariate analysis to compare cesarean delivery rates and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: The risk of cesarean section was significantly higher only in prolonged pregnancy (OR = 1.98; 95% CI: 1.18-3.34). Elective induction was associated with the lowest risk of cesarean section (OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.26-0.81). Maternal age and was directly related (OR = 1.087; 95% CI: 1.016-1.164), while parity (OR = 0.123; 95% CI: 0.051-0.332), Bishop score (OR = 0.703; 95% CI: 0.571-0.884), and duration of labor (OR = 0.995; 95% CI: 0.993-0.998) were inversely correlated with cesarean delivery. CONCLUSION:
