The evidence-based case to induce all normal pregnancies at 39 weeks
GOU, 2017
When is the best time for delivery?
Delivery Expectant management
≥ 42 weeks < 39 weeks
39 - 41 weeks41 weeks
Increasing maternal and perinatal risks after 39 weeks
Maternal Complications
● Pregnancies that continue beyond 39 weeks are associated with increased risks of: ○ Cesarean delivery○ Operative vaginal delivery○ 3rd and 4th degree lacerations○ Febrile morbidity○ Hemorrhage

Perinatal Complications
● Pregnancies that continue beyond 39 weeks are associated with increased risks of:○ Stillbirth○ Meconium aspiration syndrome○ Mechanical ventilation○ Birth trauma○ Neonatal seizures/ICH/ encephalopathy○ Neonatal sepsis○ UA pH ≤7/BE < -12
Severe Neonatal Complications

Induction and cesarean delivery:Common wisdom
● Retrospective cohort studies ○ Induction of labor prior to 41 weeks of gestation
is associated with an approximately 2-fold higher risk of cesarean delivery in nulliparous women

RCTs?
Induction vs. Expectant Management
○ RCT of women at 41 weeks of gestation (N = 3407)
Hannah et al, NEJM, 1992
%
RCT of EIOL prior to 41 weeks –Until 2016….
●Only small RCT’s●None have found an increased in cesarean
delivery○ Poor quality○ Underpowered
Walker et al, NEJM 2016
● 619 nulliparous women ● Age 35 years or older● Randomized between 36 weeks and 39 6/7 weeks
%
Cesarean Delivery
Walker et al, NEJM 2016
●Only women aged 35 or older●No idea about cervical status●UK system very different (e.g., OVD)●Underpowered for perinatal outcomes
Perinatal outcomes with EIOL?

Perinatal mortality and morbidity
70% decreased odds of mec aspiration and mortality, respectively, in EIOL group
IOL vs. expectant management
CMAJ2014
NICU admission: RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.79 – 0.94
Fetal death: RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.25 – 0.99
Maternal death: RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.1 – 9.57
Resource utilization
●Osmundson et al, 2010/2011○ Labor induction
• Favorable cervix: 3.7 additional L&D hours• Unfavorable cervix: 3.8 additional L&D hours
●Vijgen, BJOG 2010 (Hypitat)○ Total costs 11% less for IOL (€831)
DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR ANTEPARTUM COSTS
Resource utilization
● Walker et al, BJOG 2017○ Induction cheaper by £236 and increases QALY by .002

EXPECTANT MANAGEMENT
A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF INDUCTION VERSUS
EXPECTANT MANAGEMENT
(ARRIVE)
Inclusion criteria
● Nulliparous● Singleton gestation● Adequate dating
Protocol
● Randomization between 38-38 6/7 to:○ Elective induction of labor between 39 and 39 4/7 weeks○ Expectant management
● Cervical exam at randomization
IOL Group
● Favorable: oxytocin ● Unfavorable: cervical ripening followed by oxytocin
Expectant Management
● Unless a medical indication is present, will continue pregnancy until at least 40 5/7 weeks of gestation
● Antepartum fetal testing (per institutional protocol) always will be initiated no later than 41 weeks for all ongoing pregnancies
● All patients delivered no later than 42 2/7 weeks
Primary Perinatal Outcome
Composite of neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality● Antepartum, intrapartum, or neonatal death● Intubation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for ventilation or cardiorespiratory support within first 72 hours ● Apgar ≤ 3 at 5 minutes ● Neonatal encephalopathy ● Seizures ● Sepsis● Meconium aspiration syndrome● Birth trauma (bone fractures, brachial plexus palsy, other neurologic injury, retinal hemorrhage, facial nerve injury)● Intracranial hemorrhage or subgaleal hemorrhage● Hypotension requiring pressor support
Secondary Outcomes
● Secondary outcomes○ Maternal morbidity
• Cesarean delivery • Operative vaginal delivery• 3rd/4th degree perineal lacerations• Infection• Postpartum hemorrhage
○ NICU admissions○ Utilization of health care resources○ Patient-reported outcomes (control of experience, pain)
