aGestational age is expressed in weeks [mean +/− standard deviation]
bHospitalisation duration is expressed in days [mean +/− standard deviation]
cReasons for induction: rupture of membranes >24 h without labour (n = 13), full-term (pregnancy lasting 41 completed weeks) or post-term pregnancy (pregnancy lasting 42 completed weeks) (n = 8), gestational arterial hypertension or preeclampsia (n = 4), suspected foetal macrosomia (n = 2), other maternal disease (n = 3)
dCaesarean before and during labour
eReasons for caesarean before labour: foetal complications (n = 4), maternal complications (n = 5), maternal/foetal complications (n = 5)
fPreterm labour
fOther obstetrical pathologies: pregnancy-related vomiting (n = 9), bleeding (n = 4), gestational arterial hypertension (n = 3), pain syndrome (n = 7), febrile syndrome (n = 4), preterm rupture of membranes or suspicion (n = 2), convulsion (n = 1), cervical incompetence (n = 1) and foetal complication (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, n = 1)
gPreterm labour (n = 7) and/or preterm rupture of membranes (n = 4)
hOther obstetrical pathologies: bleeding (n = 2), gestational arterial hypertension or preeclampsia (n = 4) pain syndrome (n = 1), febrile syndrome (n = 1), cholestasis (n = 1), suspected neurological transient ischemic attack (n = 1) and foetal complication (intrauterine growth restriction, n = 1)
