Abstract :

Background: The prevalence of induction of labor varies between countries. The successful rate of IOL and associated factors also varied in different reports. Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated factors for successful induction of labor (IOL). Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent IOL in Udonthani Hospital from October 2017 to June 2019 were reviewed. Results: There were 242 patients who underwent IOL and had completed data. The prevalence of IOL was 3.7% (242/6469) of total deliveries. A Successful IOL was achieved in 126 (52.1%) patients (95% CI 45.6-58.5). Multiparity had a 3.5 times (95% CI 1.76-6.97,p<0.01) higher success rate than nulliparity., Preterm pregnancy increased successful IOL of 3.9 times (95% CI 1.48-10.49, p<0.01). Conclusion: Successful IOL was achieved in about half of the IOL cases. Multiparity and preterm pregnancy were associated with higher IOL success rate
