    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.

    Regression Toward the Mean

    Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when researchers try to extrapolate results...
