I have assumed that part of the complaints voiced so vocally from some stem in part from their assumption that inductions will increase the c/s rate. Thus my comment that instead of measuring a surrogate marker, measure the real outcome in which one is interested. In the end, IMO, only the following matter: morbidity/mortality (both maternal and fetal), patient satisfaction, and cost of delivery. -- Paul Prior MD They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little Coshocton, OH temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
