# Factors affecting failed induction of labour among Indian women

## TL;DR

This study explores factors influencing failed labor induction in Indian women, emphasizing clinical indicators like age and BMI.

## Contribution

The study identifies key clinical factors affecting labor induction success, offering insights for optimizing the process.

## Key findings

- Oligohydramnios does not significantly affect labor induction success.
- Age, parity, gestational age, bishop score, and BMI are important for successful induction.
- Clinical and laboratory assessments help differentiate successful and failed inductions.

## Abstract

Medical personnel are typically worried when an induction of labour fails. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the factors
leading to forced internal labor (FIOL). Hence, 92 patients were divided into 2 groups namely, group A - filed induction and group B -
successful induction to collect information with the help of questionnaire, clinical assessment and laboratory findings. We found that,
the presence of oligohydramnios (OGD) does not significantly impact the success of labor induction between the 2 groups (p = 0.459).
Thus, we show the importance of considering age, parity, gestational age, bishop score and body mass index for optimizing labor
induction.
