Abstract
Introduction: Induction of labour is one component of comprehensive obstetrics care services that is increasing employed in modern day obstetrics to decrease the risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, it has been strongly associated with poor maternal and perinatal outcomes. Therefore, his study was aimed to assess the magnitude of failed induction of labour and associated factors among mothers delivered at Jigjiga University Sheik Hassan Yabare referral Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia from June 1 to June 30, 2021.Methods: An institutional based cross-sectional study was carried out among 364 women’s delivered at Jigjiga University Sheik Hassan Yabare Referral Hospital from 2018 to 2021. A checklist was used to collect the data from the women’s chart. To isolate independent predictors related to failed induction of labour, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.Result: Our study participants were 364 women’s. The magnitude of failed induction of labour was 36.8% (95% CI: 31.8, 42.0). Age of the mother (<30 years) (AOR= 3.2; CI: 1.78, 5.75), rural residency (AOR=2.28; CI:1.29, 4.01), being primi-para (AOR= 2.76; CI: 1.55, 4.91), gestational age less than 37 or greater than 42 year (AOR= 2.65; CI: 1.44, 4.89) , multiple ton of pregnancy (AOR= 2.36; CI: 1.01, 5.55), premature rapture of membrane (AOR= 4.88; CI: 2.33, 10.21), pregnancy induced hypertension (AOR= 5.11; CI: 2.67, 9.79), and bishop score less than six (AOR= 1.95; CI: 1.15, 3.32) were significantly associated with failed induction of labour.Conclusion: The magnitude of failed induction of labour among mothers undergoing labor induction was relatively high in the study settings compared with previous studies in the country. Failed induction of labour was significantly associated with age of the mother (<30 years), rural residency, being primi-para, gestational age less than 37 or greater than 42 years, multiple ton of pregnancy, premature rapture of membrane, pregnancy induced hypertension, and bishop score less than six.
