[The significance of maternal factors for predicting of induced labor outcome]

Abstract

Aim of the present mixed prospective and retrospective study is to determine the prognostic significance of mother factors for the continuity and the final outlet of induction of labor. Factors like age, parity and mother weight were examined. Based on the given results the authors conclude that the parity has more importance than mother's age for the successful outcome of the induction of labor. The inducted primipara women have more unfavorable outcome and prolonged inductions. The increased BMI > 30 increases the frequency of the unsuccessful inductions, but not the Caesarean sections.
