The rising tide: Trends in induction of labor at term over a 5‐year period at a single centre
Our data confirm that the rate of IOL is increasing. The contribution of maternal and fetal reasons for IOL to the overall CD rate may reflect increasing numbers of higher-risk pregnancies. Despite current controversy regarding the role of eIOL, our data do not confirm a significant contribution to either the overall IOL or CD rates in this center.
