Elective Induction of Labor in the 39th Week of Gestation Compared With Expectant Management of Low-Risk Multiparous Women: Correction

In the article by Sinkey et al in the August 2019 issue,1 there are several places that should read, “at 39 weeks of gestation” instead of “in the 39th week of gestation.” The title should read, “Elective Induction of Labor at 39 Weeks of Gestation Compared With Expectant Management of Low-Risk Multiparous Women.” The Objective in the abstract should read, “To compare perinatal and maternal outcomes in low-risk multiparous women who underwent elective induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation with those who were expectantly managed.” The Conclusion in the abstract should read, “Elective induction of labor in low-risk multiparous women at 39 weeks of gestation was associated with decreased perinatal morbidity and a lower frequency of cesarean delivery compared with expectant management.” The last sentence of the Introduction section at the top of page 283 should read, “Therefore, our objective was to compare perinatal and maternal outcomes among low-risk multiparous women undergoing elective induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation with the outcomes of those who were expectantly managed.” The first sentence of the Discussion on page 285 should read, “In this observational study, we found that elective induction of labor in low-risk multiparous women at 39 weeks of gestation was associated with improved perinatal morbidity, fewer cesarean deliveries, and fewer obstetric clinic visits after 39 weeks compared with expectant management.” The last sentence of the Discussion on page 287 should read, “The limitations of our study notwithstanding, we observed better perinatal outcomes and fewer cesarean deliveries among low-risk multiparous women who underwent elective induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation compared with those who were expectantly managed.”
