Abstract:
There is growing evidence from randomized trials that induction of labor at or near term does not increase cesarean delivery; observational data show that the optimal gestation for spontaneous delivery for the baby is 39 weeks. Elective cesarean at these gestations is also sometimes considered, but evaluating the associated risks is complex. For the baby, although cesarean obviates the risks of labor, it carries a risk of respiratory problems, which may be severe. For the mother, cesarean is more dangerous than vaginal and emergency cesarean is more dangerous than elective. The authors consider the evidence base for near-term induction of labor and cesarean for a range of scenarios.
