OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether adherence to an induction of labor (IOL) protocol decreases the rate of failed IOL (FIOL).STUDY DESIGN: We performed a 1-year retrospective chart review around the implementation of a hospital IOL protocol and compared maternal and neonatal outcomes from deliveries managed per protocol (n - 369) with those deliveries that were not (n 230). Women at least 24 weeks' gestation with cervical dilation up to 2 cm who underwent an indicated IOL were included. Protocol-adherent (PA) inductions had amniotomy within 24 hours of starting oxytocin, intrauterine pressure catheter placement in latent labor, Montevideo units titrated to 200-300 or to adequate cervical change, and oxytocin administered for at least 12 hours after amniotomy before FIOL was diagnosed (defined as delivery by cesarean during latent labor as a result of failure to enter active labor). The primary outcome was the rate of FIOL. Control for possible confounders was made by stratification and multivariate modeling.RESULTS: FIOL rates were lowest in the PA group, which remained significant after stratification on parity and multivariate analysis (nulliparous women, 3.8% vs 9.8%; P - .043; multiparous women, 0% vs 6%; P < .0004). Median time to delivery was shortest in the PA group by 3.5 hours in nulliparous women (16.0 vs 19.5 hours, respectively; P = .0002) and 1.5 hours in multiparous women (10.75 vs 12.25 hours, respectively; P < .0001). There were no differences in infectious morbidity or neonatal outcomes between the groups.CONCLUSION: Adherence to a standardized IOL protocol is associated with a decreased rate of FIOL and length of labor.
