AB Elective induction of labor (IOL) is not uncommon at 39 weeks' gestation, but prospective data on perinatal outcomes and ultimate mode of delivery are limited compared to expectant management. The Elective Induction of Nulliparous Labor study [Miller NR et al. Obstet Gynecol 2014; NCT01076062] objectives were to evaluate the incidence of cesarean delivery and perinatal outcomes among women who deliver by elective IOL compared with spontaneous labor.
