Maged AM, et al. - Researchers tested if there is a higher rate of unsuccessful induction of labor (IOL) in post-term obese pregnant women compared to non-obese ones. Outcomes revealed a higher risk of cesarean section (CS) in obese postdate pregnant women undergoing IOL in comparison to non-obese counterparts. Obesity was identified to be an independent factor for failure of IOL. Furthermore, after adjustment for the confounders, obesity had the risk of increasing labor duration by 2.3 h in cases that ended in vaginal delivery.
