Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To elucidate whether induction of labor in primiparas with low-risk pregnancies at 38 + 0 to 40 + 6 gestational weeks will increase the cesarean rate, compared with those receiving labor induction at more than 41+0 gestational weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Medical records of all consecutive primiparas with low-risk pregnancy from January 1, 2014 to August 31, 2019 were reviewed to explore the correlation between early induction of labor and caesarean birth after 38 + 0 weeks. The hypothesis of the study is that induction of labor in primiparas with low-risk pregnancies at 38 + 0 to 40 + 6 gestational weeks will increase the cesarean rate, compared with those receiving labor induction at more than 41+0 gestational weeks.
