Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a "hard stop" on elective induction prior to 39 weeks at a large volume obstetrics hospital.
Study design: From July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2013, there were 27,435 deliveries at our institution. We performed a retrospective chart review of all elective inductions I year before and after the implementation of a 39 week "hard stop" .policy. All women (n=2,574) who underwent elective induction of labor were analyzed.
Results: The rate of cesarean delivery was not sta- tistically different between the group evaluated before the "hard stop" and those after (20.6% vs 18%). The rate of postpartum hemorrhage decreased significantly following the policy change (6.2% vs 3.2%, respectively). There were no other clinically important differences in maternal or neonatal outcomes.
Conclusion: The implementation of a "hard stop" policy aimed at eliminating elective inductions before 39 weeks did not affect the rate of cesarean birth.
目的:评价某大产科医院“硬停”对39周前择期引产的影响。研究设计:2011年7月1日至2013年6月30日,我院共分娩27435例。我们对实施39周“硬停”政策前后一年的所有择期入职进行了回顾性图表回顾。所有接受择期引产的妇女(n= 2574)进行了分析。结果:硬停术前与硬停后两组剖宫产率无统计学差异(20.6% vs 18%)。政策改变后,产后出血率明显下降(分别为6.2%和3.2%)。在产妇或新生儿结局方面没有其他重要的临床差异。结论:实施旨在消除39周前择期引产的“硬停”政策对剖宫产率没有影响。
