It is an increasingly being done obstetric procedure throughout the world and associated with poorer outcomes when compared with spontaneous labor. The published evidence is limited in Ethiopia including the study area. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the magnitude of failed induction and associated factors among pregnant women who were admitted to the labor ward of Adama hospital medical college.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 women who were eligible for induction using systematic random sampling. The data were collected from 1st January to 30th April 2020 by face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire and extraction from a maternal chart. Then data was entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solution version 23. Descriptive statistics were performed to describe the study population. Logistic regression (bivariate and multivariable) analysis was conducted to identify associated factors. The association was expressed in odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and P-value &lt;0.05 was used as cut-off points to declare significance in the final model.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study showed that the prevalence of failed induction was 20.5% (95% CI: (15.7\u201325.3%)). The odds of failed induction in unfavorable bishop score were 4.05 higher than the odds in favorable bishop [AOR = 4.05 95%CI (1.19\u201313.77)]. The odds of failed induction in an intact membrane were 2.05 higher than the ruptured membrane. [AOR = 2.05, 95%CI (1.06\u20133.98)]. The odds of failed induction in primigravida were 2.33 higher than the odds in the multiparous women [AOR = 2.33, 95%CI (1.26\u20134.29)].<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This study revealed that the magnitude of failed induction was higher when compared to other similar findings. Bishop scores, membrane status, and parity were significantly associated factors with failed induction. Preparation of the cervix before commencing induction is recommended to improve induction success.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0262256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]],"date-time":"2022-01-27T18:44:54Z","timestamp":1643309094000},"page":"e0262256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The magnitude of failed induction and associated factors among women admitted to Adama hospital medical college: A cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1066-118X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bikila Tefera","family":"Debelo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reta Nemomsa","family":"Obsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Worku","family":"Dugassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shumi","family":"Negasa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0262256.ref001","unstructured":"Health FMo.
