New Interest in Labour Progression Troendle & Zhang, US-NIH Vahratian A et al. 2006; “methodological challenges in studying labour progression”; suggested how to assess the duration from one cervical centimeter to the result of the next vaginal examination (as an independent factor) Vahratian A et al. 2006; impact of parity on course of labor; difference between primiparae and multiparae Vahratian A et al. 2005; risk of caesarean delivery in electively induced primiparae is 2.3 higher compared to non induced primiparae, epidural is used as a time-varying covariate Hoffman MK et al. 2006; comparison of labour progression between induced and non induced multiparous women Smith, UK-Cambridge Smith G 2001; first time that “time to event analysis” is used in the field of human reproduction (“normal duration of human pregnancy”) Smith G et al. 2003; caesarean section and risk of unexplained stillbirth in subsequent pregnancy.

Research question The aim of the current study was to investigate how intrapartum interventions are associated with labour duration.
Setting of the ProGeb-Study -a state-wide longitudinal study on process-oriented care during the childbearing process, -96 hospitals with maternity services in Lower Saxony, -64,000 births per year, -involves a detailed documentation, -contact to midwifery teams. Data Collection Hospital-based births: 6 months Out-of-hospital births: 12 months 47 maternity units in hospitals (n=3963) 11 free standing birth centres (n=232) 46 home birth midwives (n=243) total n= 4438 • Informed Consent • Approvals • by the Ethics Committee of Hanover Medical University • by the State-wide Ethics Committee for Public Hospitals in Lower Saxony • Support / Logistics • Centre for Quality and Management in Health Care of the Medical Chamber of Lower Saxony • Inclusion • Cephalic presentation in singleton pregnancies > 34 weeks
