Abstract
Induction of labor refers to iatrogenic stimulation of uterine contractions
after the age of viability and before the spontaneous onset of labor for
accomplishing vaginal delivery. The indications of induction of labor must be to
save the life of the mother and the fetus. The aim of this study was to identify
the outcomes of labor among women undergoing labor induction. study
design:A prospective observational was used in labor ward at the Maternity
Department of Mansoura University Hospital and Dikirniss HospitaL The study
comprised a purposive sample of 234 parturient women who received induction
of labor. four tools for data collection were used; a structured interviewing
schedule, maternal and neonatal assessment sheet, partograph, and Bishops
score. The results of the present study revealed that the incidence ofInduction
of labor was 11.7%. Almost three fifth of women (57.7%) had successful
induction of labor, while 42% underwent cesarean. The most common
indication for IOL was; premature rupture of membrane (49.5%) As for the
BMI, over weight and obese women were more likely to underwent failed labor
induction (67.7%, 27.3% vs. 66.7%, 24.4% respectively). Eighty five point nine’
present of neonatal had no complication while 6.7% of neonatal had asphyxia.
Apgar score at the first and fifth minutes were within the normal leveL It can be
concluded that, successful induction outcome was more likely with gestational
age between 37 weeks to less than 40 weeks. Case selection for IOL is vital for
achieving outcomes similar to spontaneous labor. The study recommended
that, monitoring of the woman and her fetus closely undergoing labor induction
once labor is established by labor induction is imperative.
