Published 1 year, 1 month ago

Additionally, that guidance states, "Several studies have noted an increased risk of uterine rupture in the setting of induction of labor in women attempting TOLAC". These are important observations to review with a patient. However, according to a study soon to be published in March 2025, based on US Vital Statistics birth certificate data, that may not be the case. YEP...Medicine Moves Fast. Listen in for details.
