Maternal and neonatal morbidities were assessed in 2007\u20132008 using linked hospital and birth data with regression analysis. Oxytocin was also assessed by indication for use being either induction or augmentation of labour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The overall use of oxytocin increased from 10\u00a0291 (36.5%) of births in 1998 to 14\u00a0440 (45.4%) of births in 2008 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.0001) with the increase entirely because of the increased use for induction of labour. The use of oxytocin was associated with an increase in regional analgesia (65 to 22%), instrumental delivery (21 to 18%) and caesarean section (29 to 14%) as compared to women who did not receive oxytocin in labour. Oxytocin was also associated with an increase in severe maternal adjusted odds ratios ((<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">aOR<\/jats:styled-content>) 1.48, 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content> 1.30\u20131.68) and neonatal morbidity (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">aOR<\/jats:styled-content> 1.29, 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content> 1.17\u20131.41).
