Timing of delivery such that maternal and perinatal outcomes are optimized is among the most important and commonplace decisions in obstetric care. Given the importance of this determination, it is somewhat surprising that there has been, until relatively recently, little in the way of high-quality evidence to guide obstetric clinicians in this decision. This chapter describes the evolution of studies examining the effects of labor induction and the importance of the ARRIVE trial in that context.

The ARRIVE trial provides high-quality evidence to guide obstetric clinicians in optimizing labor induction decisions, improving maternal and perinatal outcomes.
