概述
In 2019, the Executive Guideline Steering Group (GSG) for the World Health Organization (WHO) maternal and perinatal health recommendations
prioritized updating three then-current WHO recommendations on induction of labour at term or beyond (i.e. the timing of induction of labour), the use of mechanical methods for induction of labour and the use of outpatient settings for induction of labour. This decision was based on new evidence on these subjects that had become available. The updated recommendations in this document on the timing of induction of labour
supersede the previous WHO recommendations on this topic in the 2018 publication WHO recommendations: induction of labour at or
beyond term.
