Abstract
The induction rate in the United States has more than doubled since 1989 to a high of 20.6% (Martin et al., 2003). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of labor induction on the odds of primary cesarean delivery controlling for factors that confound or modify the effect with a database that provides size and scope. The study design was a retrospective, explanatory study design, using secondary data analysis with a database comprised of hospital discharge data, birth certificate data, AHA Annual Hospital Survey data, and neonatal intensive care survey data (N = 160,533 births).
