The objective of this study was to assess the effects of a policy of labour induction at or beyond 37 weeks gestation compared with a policy of awaiting spontaneous labour indefinitely (or until a later gestational age, or until a maternal or fetal indication for induction of labour arises) on pregnancy outcomes for the infant and the mother.
