Name of journal: American journal of perinatologyAbstract: CONCLUSION: In nulliparous women aged >= 35 years, NMII was associated with decreased odds of cesarean delivery at 37 to 39 weeks' gestation and decreased odds of NICU admission at 40 weeks' gestation compared with expectant management. Copyright Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001, USA.OBJECTIVE: This article compares maternal and neonatal outcomes in women aged >= 35 years who experienced nonmedically indicated induction of labor (NMII) versus expectant management.RESULTS: Of 3,819 nulliparas aged >= 35 years, 1,409 (36.9%) women underwent NMII. Overall at 39 weeks' gestation or later, maternal and neonatal outcomes were similar or improved with NMII. At 37, 38, and 39 weeks' gestation, NMII compared with expectant management was associated with decreased odds of cesarean delivery at 37, 38, and 39 weeks' gestation. At 40 weeks' gestation, NMII compared with expectant management was associated with an increased odds of operative vaginal delivery and a decreased odds of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study of nulliparas aged >= 35 years with a singleton and cephalic presentation who delivered at term. Outcomes were compared between women who underwent NMII at 37, 38, 39, and 40 weeks' gestation and those with expectant management that week. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated, controlling for predefined covariates.All authors: Bowers K, Kawakita T, Khoury JCOriginally published: American Journal of Perinatology. 36(1):45-52, 2019 01.Fiscal year: FY2019Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2019-11-19

OBJECTIVE: This article compares maternal and neonatal outcomes in women aged >= 35 years who experienced nonmedically indicated induction of labor (NMII) versus expectant management.

RESULTS: Of 3,819 nulliparas aged >= 35 years, 1,409 (36.9%) women underwent NMII. Overall at 39 weeks' gestation or later, maternal and neonatal outcomes were similar or improved with NMII. At 37, 38, and 39 weeks' gestation, NMII compared with expectant management was associated with decreased odds of cesarean delivery at 37, 38, and 39 weeks' gestation. At 40 weeks' gestation, NMII compared with expectant management was associated with an increased odds of operative vaginal delivery and a decreased odds of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.

STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study of nulliparas aged >= 35 years with a singleton and cephalic presentation who delivered at term. Outcomes were compared between women who underwent NMII at 37, 38, 39, and 40 weeks' gestation and those with expectant management that week. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated, controlling for predefined covariates.
