The recently published ARRIVE trial demonstrated that “policies aimed at the avoidance of elective labour induction among low-risk nulliparous women at 39 weeks of gestation are unlikely to reduce the rate of caesarean delivery on a population level”. In this commentary we discuss some controversial aspects of the study that in our opinion may undermine its validity at wide population level.

Abstract
The recently published ARRIVE trial demonstrated that “policies aimed at the avoidance of elective labour induction among low-risk nulliparous women at 39 weeks of gestation are unlikely to reduce the rate of caesarean delivery on a population level”. In this commentary we discuss some controversial aspects of the study that in our opinion may undermine its validity at wide population level.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
