Delivery outcome after trial of labor in nulliparous women 40  years or older—A nationwide population‐based study

ConclusionsTrial of labor ended in vaginal delivery in 79% of nulliparous women ≥40 years. The risks of intrapartum cesarean section and operative vaginal delivery were higher in women ≥40 years compared with women 25‐29 years, after both spontaneous onset and induction of labor. The risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury or a 5‐minute Apgar score<7 was not increased.
