Scottish Study Finds 28 Percent of Induced Births Unnecessary
A study by researchers at Aberdeen University of 17,000 births found that there was no medical explanation for over 28% of the induced labors.
“We were slightly surprised that it was as high as it was. It raises the question that there may be some unnecessary interventions and we are planning further studies.” -Tracy Humphrey, consultant midwife at Grampian NHS Board.
