Neonatal and maternal complications associated with induction of labour and repeat caesarean delivery at 39, 40 and 41 weeks each compared to expectant management.

Neonatal complications (extended perinatal mortality and admission to neonatal special or intensive care unit) and maternal complications (postpartum haemorrhage >1000 ml and uterine rupture) following induction of labour (IOL) or planned caesarean delivery at 39, 40 and 41 weeks (w) in women with a previous caesarean when compared to expectant management (delivery beyond gestation of IOL). Multivariable analysis adjusts for age, period of delivery, deprivation category, presence of medical complication, birth weight and mode of delivery (adjustment for mode of delivery not applied to uterine rupture). OR = odds ratio. AOR = adjusted odds ratio. 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. * = P
