Lack of utility of standard labor curves in the prediction of progression during labor induction.

摘要: Objective: This study was undertaken to determine whether patients undergoing labor induction can be reliably evaluated by means of standard assessment curves. Study Design: In this retrospective chart review 123 who underwent cervical ripening and labor, Friedman's curves were used for comparison. Statistical analysis performed with the Student t test. Results: Nulliparous parous spent more time in active-phase than expectations progression would indicate (12.7 ± 7.8 vs 5.9 3.4 hours nulliparous women, P <.001; 7.9 6.4 2.5 1.5 <.001). delivered vaginally active did their respective historical control populations (10.3 8.0 7.0 6.0 Conclusion: Standard methods evaluation adequacy prediction likelihood vaginal delivery may not apply ripening.
