Practice GuidelineChronic Pelvic Pain: ACOG Practice Bulletin, Number 218.

Risk Calculator to Predict Cesarean Delivery Among Women Undergoing Induction of Labor.
To develop and validate a predictive risk calculator for cesarean delivery among women undergoing induction of labor. ⋯ This validated predictive model uses seven variables that were obtainable from the patient's medical record and discriminates between women at increased or decreased risk of cesarean delivery after induction of labor. This risk calculator, found at https://ob.tools/iol-calc, can be used in addition to the Bishop score by health care providers in counseling women who are undergoing an induction of labor and allocating appropriate resources for women at high risk for cesarean delivery.
