Comparison of pregnancy outcomes between induction of labor at 40 weeks and 41 weeks in low-risk women with Singleton pregnancies: a retrospective cohort study
IOL at 40 weeks did not result in increased adverse outcomes compared to IOL at 41 weeks. Parturients with higher education and income were more likely to choose elective IOL. Parity ≥ 1 and a Bishop score ≥ 6 were protective factors against CS following IOL. These may provide a new option for clinical decision-making.
