Abstract
Incidence No statutory national data are collected on the incidence of induction. The National Birthday Trust's study on home births in 1994 showed a 19% induction rate among a normal group of women who planned to deliver in hospital compared with 0.2% in those who delivered at home. Hospital reports, where published, vary from 0% to 30%. Induction and augmentation Induction means starting labour Augmentation means enhancing a labour that has already started View larger version: In this window In a new window Percentage of inductions performed in hospitals or trusts in England Acknowledgments The second graph on the first page is adapted from Crowley (Cochrame Library, 1998). The pie chart is adapted from the Statistical Bulletin: NHS Maternity Statistics (Department of Health, 1997).
