Induction of labor rates have more than doubled nationwide in the past 15 years. The increase in medically induced inductions was slower than the overall increase, suggesting that inductions for marginal or elective reasons rose more rapidly. Elective inductions seem to account for at least half of all inductions and 10% of all deliveries.

Maternal and neonatal outcomes of elective induction of labor.
TLDR
Overall, expectant management of pregnancy was associated with an approximately 22 percent higher odds of cesarean delivery than elective induction of labor, and the evidence was rated as moderate because of the size and number of studies and consistency of the findings.
Induction of labor: does indication matter?
TLDR
The indication for induction of labor may impact its failure rate, and hypertensive disorders and maternal indications were significantly associated with induction failure but not cesarean delivery.
Induction of Labor and Risk for Emergency Cesarean Section in Women at Term Pregnancy
TLDR
Induction of labor at term has reduced the number of Cesarean sections in a study with a single risk factor, primigravida with fetal distress due to oligohydramnios, compared to other risk factors such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, post-dated pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus.
Implementing an induction scheduling procedure and consent form to improve quality of care.
TLDR
A scheduling procedure and consent form were implemented to eliminate elective induction at less than 39 weeks gestation and align indications for induction with American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines.
Outcomes of Labor in Women Undergoing Induction of Labor and Plan of Nursing Action
TLDR
It can be concluded that, successful induction outcome was more likely with gestational age between 37 weeks to less than 40 weeks, and case selection for IOL is vital for achieving outcomes similar to spontaneous labor.
Prediction of Successful Labor Induction in Multiparas Women
TLDR
Main predictors of successful labor induction were BMI, gestational weight gain and Bishop score ≥6.
Indication for labour induction and predictors for failed induction at KMCTH.
TLDR
Despite the proven benefit of induction of labour in selected cases, one must keep in mind its impact on increasing the rates of operative delivery as well as developing practice guidelines may help to prevent unwarranted case selection.
Factors associated with failed induction of labour in a secondary care hospital.
TLDR
Nulliparity, poor Bishop score and prolonged latent phase had strongest association with failed Induction of Labour.
The influence of hospital type on induction of labor and mode of delivery.
Elective induction of labour increases caesarean section rate in low risk multiparous women
TLDR
It was concluded that elective induction of labour in low risk women who have previously given vaginal birth is associated with an almost doubled rate of secondary caesarean section if performed before 41 weeks.
