Many such outcomes are also related to gestational age at delivery, making the timing of delivery in obese women of particular concern. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between term elective induction of labor (eIOL) and perinatal outcomes in obese women and determine the optimal timing and cost-effectiveness of eIOL in the setting of maternal obesity. 000002839 540__ $$fCC BY 000002839 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002839 650__ $$aCost-Benefit Analysis$$017144 000002839 650__ $$aCesarean Section$$016405 000002839 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000002839 650__ $$aDecision Support Techniques$$017421 000002839 650__ $$aLabor, Induced$$021261 000002839 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002839 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002839 7001_ $$aLee, Vanessa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002839 7201_ $$aCaughey, Aaron$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000002839 8564_ $$99eb9777a-dd34-4461-9154-2158eedbae93$$s1415816$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2839/files/3606_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$22fcad6bba73e319755220eed46275eb1$$31 000002839 905__ $$a/rest/prod/h7/02/q6/62/h702q6624 000002839 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2839$$pstudent-work 000002839 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
