Abstract

Background: Induction of labor (IOL) is a commonly performed procedure in obstetrics with indications ranging from maternal to fetal. The main goal of the procedure is safe delivery.


Objective: To determine obstetric outcomes of induction of labour at a tertiary hospital in southwest Nigeria


Materials and methods: This study was an observational and prospective study carried out in Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Ado Ekiti in southwestern Nigeria from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019. Data collected were entered and analyzed, using Statistical Software for Social Sciences version 20 (SPSS 20, IBM, Chicago). Continuous variables were analysed using mean and standard deviation while categorical variables were presented in frequency and percentages.


Results: The total number of deliveries was 1655 with 191 induction of Labor, out of which 134 had vagina delivery and 57 had EMISCS. The induction of labor rate was 11.5% while the success rate of IOL was 70.2%. About 9.4% babies delivered required Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) admission, 86% had a good APGAR score, 1 neonatal death was recorded and 14% of the mothers had primary postpartum haemorrhage.


Conclusion: IOL is a very important procedure in obstetrics and key in reducing Caesaren section rate; ensuring correct indication, strict patient evaluation and selection, appropriate induction method and proper labour monitoring should give good feto-maternal outcomes.


Keywords: Obstetrics outcomes, induction of labour, southwest, Nigeria
