Induction of labour survey: A need for standardisation and/or change in practice

Induction of labour is one of the most common antepartum intervention. There are numerous methods available but the most commonly used in Malaysian public hospital is the intravaginal dinoprostone. This survey highlighted the various practices of using dinoprostone for different group of pregnant women which are unfortunately, not supported by robust clinical evidence. As such, it calls for futher studies to allow future practice standardization. Alternatively, the use of misoprostol for induction of labour, which has better data profile, should also be considered.
