A recent study conducted at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School compared maternal and neonatal outcomes between labor induction and cesarean delivery (CD) without labor in nulliparous individuals with class III obesity. The study included 308 participants, with 81% undergoing labor induction and 19% having a CD without labor. The most common indications for CD without labor were fetal malpresentation, suspected macrosomia, and previous myomectomy. The study found that the rates of composite maternal morbidity and composite neonatal morbidity did not differ significantly between the two groups. The researchers concluded that among nulliparous individuals with class III obesity at term, the rate of short-term maternal and neonatal morbidity did not differ between labor induction and CD without labor.
