| description | To evaluate the maternal serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate levels as a factor influencing labor ‘efficiency’ at term and unsuccessful labor induction. This is a prospective study. In this study the mean (± standard error) maternal serum DHEA sulfate levels of 90 singleton pregnant women in 3 groups with spontaneous labor, need for augmentation and need for induction were compared.Pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus, hypertension, fetal growth restriction, tobacco consumption, corticosteriod use or chorioamintis were excluded. Bishop score of all cases was less than 5. Serum DHEA sulfate levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Dehydroepiandrosteone sulfate levels and other obstetric variables were correlated retrospectively with the clinically determined requirements of oxytocin augmentation of labor, and the outcome of each induction attempt. The t-test, Variance analysis Kruskal –Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test, chi-square (X2) distribution, linear correlation and regression were used for statistical analysis. P |
