We aimed to evaluate the pregnancy outcomes associated with IOL among women with and without isolated polyhydramnios. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort that included women who underwent induction of labor at term. The study compared women who underwent IOL due to isolated polyhydramnios to low-risk women who underwent elective IOL due to gestational age only. The main outcome measure was a composite adverse maternal outcome, while the secondary outcomes included maternal and neonatal adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results: During the study period, 1004 women underwent IOL at term and met inclusion and exclusion criteria; 162 had isolated polyhydramnios, and 842 had a normal amount of amniotic fluid. Women who had isolated polyhydramnios had higher rates of the composite adverse maternal outcome (28.7% vs. 20.4%, p = 0.02), prolonged hospital stay, perineal tear grade 3\/4, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal hypoglycemia. Multivariate analyses revealed that among women with IOL, polyhydramnios was significantly associated with adverse composite maternal outcome [aOR 1.98 (1.27\u20133.10), p &lt; 0.01]. Conclusions: IOL in women with isolated polyhydramnios at term was associated with worse perinatal outcomes compared to low-risk women who underwent elective IOL. Our findings suggest that the management of women with polyhydramnios cannot be extrapolated from studies of low-risk populations and that clinical decision-making should take into account the individual patient\u2019s risk factors and preferences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13051416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]],"date-time":"2024-02-29T02:59:39Z","timestamp":1709175579000},"page":"1416","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Labor Induction in Women with Isolated Polyhydramnios at Term: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yael","family":"Lerner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tzuria","family":"Peled","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Morag","family":"Yehushua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4063-5911","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reut","family":"Rotem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ari","family":"Weiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9859-469X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hen Y.","family":"Sela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sorina","family":"Grisaru-Granovsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4875-1455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Misgav","family":"Rottenstreich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated with the Hebrew University School of Medicine, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"},{"name":"Department of Nursing, Jerusalem College of Technology, Jerusalem 9548301, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"B2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2018.07.016","article-title":"SMFM Consult Series #46: Evaluation and management of polyhydramnios","volume":"219","author":"Dashe","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am.
