Predictors for intrapartum cesarean delivery after labor induction for suspected fetal growth restriction at term
Key Points
This research aims to identify factors that can predict the likelihood of cesarean delivery after labor induction for suspected fetal growth restriction (FGR).
Analyzed data on pregnancies with suspected fetal growth restriction at term.
Evaluated maternal age and parity as predictors of cesarean delivery.
Compared these factors with fetal size and Doppler status for counseling recommendations.
Maternal age and parity emerged as significant predictors of cesarean delivery risk.
Fetal size and Doppler status did not show a strong correlation with cesarean outcomes.
Abstract
When considering induction of labor for suspected FGR at term, maternal age and parity, rather than fetal size or Doppler status, should guide counseling regarding cesarean risk.
