Frank ZC, et al. - Researchers compared elective induction of labor (eIOL) vs expectant management in nulliparous women via performing this retrospective cohort study of singleton, vertex, nonanomalous deliveries in community hospitals in California between 2007 and 2011 using linked hospital discharge and vital statistics data (n=544,537).
