Induction of labor and risk of postpartum hemorrhage in low risk parturients.
<h4>Objective</h4>Labor induction is an increasingly common procedure, even among women at low risk, although evidence to assess its risks remains sparse. Our objective was to assess the association between induction of labor and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in low-risk parturients, globa...

This excess risk was found for induction with both oxytocin (AOR 1.52, 95%CI 1.19-1.93 for all and 1.57, 95%CI 1.11-2.20 for severe PPH) and prostaglandins (AOR 1.21, 95%CI 0.97-1.51 for all and 1.42, 95%CI 1.04-1.94 for severe PPH).

<h4>Objective</h4>Labor induction is an increasingly common procedure, even among women at low risk, although evidence to assess its risks remains sparse. Our objective was to assess the association between induction of labor and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in low-risk parturients, globally and according to its indications and methods.<h4>Method</h4>Population-based case-control study of low-risk women who gave birth in 106 French maternity units between December 2004 and November 2006, including 4450 women with PPH, 1125 of them severe, and 1744 controls. Indications for labor induction were standard or non-standard, according to national guidelines. Induction methods were oxytocin or prostaglandins. Multilevel multivariable logistic regression modelling was used to test the independent association between induction and PPH, quantified as odds ratios.<h4>Results</h4>After adjustment for all potential confounders, labor induction was associated with a significantly higher risk of PPH (adjusted odds ratio, AOR1.22, 95%CI 1.04-1.42).
