Abstract Objective: This study was aimed to identify determinants of failed oxytocin induction among women who gave birth at referral hospitals of Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Unmatched case control study design was employed among 336 women who had oxytocin induction with 2:1 control to case ratio. Results: A total of 336 women were participated in the study giving a response rate of 100% for both cases and controls. The odds of having failed induction were found to be 11.77 times higher among women who had intermediate bishop (AOR=11.77(5.19, 26.71)) compared with counterparts. Likewise, the odds of having failed induction were found to be higher (AOR=6.24, 95%, CI: (3.32, 11.73)), (AOR=2.47, 95%, CI: (1.31, 4.68)), and (AOR=2.16, 95%, CI :( 1.13, 4.16)) among women who are primiparous, those who had emergency oxytocin induction, and women with age ≤30 years respectively. Cervical status shall be seen with care prior to oxytocin induction and repining shall be considered to have better outcome. Keywords: Induction of labor, failed induction, Bishop score, Ethiopia |
