Health and Economic Impacts of an Early Labor Induction Policy for High‐BMI Mothers

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We expand the literature on marginal returns to birth interventions by studying a common intervention: early induction of labor for a growing share of pregnancies, high‐Body Mass Index (BMI) women. We exploit Danish guidelines which recommend routine induction at 7 days after the expected due date instead of 10–13 days after for mothers with a

Evaluating predictive values of umbilical cord arterial lactate for adverse newborn outcomes among term‐births in northern Uganda: A cross sectional analytical study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 408-420, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Birth asphyxia is one of the leading causes of death for neonates worldwide. Lack of an objective cost effective test to predict poor newborn outcomes at birth affects the ability to respond appropriately. This study determined predictive values of umbilical cord arterial lactate in relation to adverse neonatal outcomes. Methods This

Optimal timing for induction of labor in normotensive women: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 365-371, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Labor induction is offered to reduce the risk of stillbirth at late term (41+0 to 41+6) but earlier induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies is supported by weak evidence. The aim of the present study was to investigate the optimal timing for induction in normotensive women.
