Impact of Maternal Obesity on Delivery Outcomes Following Labor Induction: A Single‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, Volume 52, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This study evaluated the association between body mass index (BMI) at the onset of labor induction and delivery outcomes, including instrumental delivery, emergency cesarean section, labor duration, and cumulative oxytocin dose among singleton term pregnancies. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of singleton term pregnancies

Is pathological fetal Doppler cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) associated with adverse delivery outcomes in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction undergoing labor induction? A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 1729-1734, March 2026.
Abstract Objective The optimal delivery approach for fetal growth restriction (FGR) with pathological cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between isolated pathological CPR (<5th percentile) and delivery outcomes, specifically the rate of cesarean delivery (CD) due to non‐reassuring fetal heart rate ...

A Comparison of Synthetic Osmotic Dilators and Pharmacologic Agents for Cervical Ripening in Induction of Labor: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Midwifery &Women's Health, Volume 71, Issue 1, Page 26-38, January/February 2026.
Introduction Given the rising number of studies on synthetic osmotic dilators, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews for their use compared with other commonly used cervical ripening methods. This study aimed to examine the maternal and neonatal safety and efficacy in cervical ripening and labor induction using synthetic osmotic dilators compared ...

Use of vaginal dinoprostone for women with term prelabor rupture of membranes and an unfavorable cervix within 6 h versus within 6–24 h

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Most guidelines propose inducing labor within 24 h following term (37 or more weeks of gestation) prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM). However, the exact timing for initiating induction within the 24 h period remains unknown.
