Providing relevant information when discussing induction of labor with the pregnant woman

AbstractCongratulations with your collaborative work from the Nordic countries on induction of labor (IOL). In your conclusion you state that women should be informed about a higher risk of cesarean section (CS) if they have their labor induced compared with spontaneous labor1.When you use data for clinical discussions with the patients, data should relate as much as possible to the clinical situation that the patient is facing. When discussing pro et con in relation to IOL, the woman is of course not in spontaneous labor. For this reason, comparing induced labor with spontaneous labor is irrelevant for the patient.
