Description
A recent publication on the relationship between induction of labour in uncomplicated pregnancies, and birth by caesarean section reports a lower caesarean rate in the induced group. This is likely to result in what has been described as an epidemic of induction. But what of the methodological shortcomings in this and other related research?
This project will use routinely-collected data to replicate prior studies, and to re-analyse using methods to correct for problems in the initial studies.
