Effects of the ARRIVE (A Randomized Trial of Induction Versus Expectant Management) Trial on Elective Induction and Obstetric Outcomes in Term Nulliparous Patients

Elizabeth Nethery, Barbara Levy, Kate McLean, Kristin Sitcov, and Vivienne L. Souter

Key takeaways:

This study used a rigorous quasi-experimental approach to understand how the publication of a large randomized trial (ARRIVE) impacted obstetric practice among nulliparous birthing people in Washington State. We found that elective inductions increased after the trial was published but there was no observed change in cesarean births, hypertensive disorders or neonatal adverse outcomes. Findings from randomized trials should be validated in real-world settings.

Expanding midwifery care in the United States: Implications for clinical outcomes and cost

Kate A. McLean, Vivienne L. Souter, and Elizabeth Nethery

Key takeaways:

This study used data from Washington state and extrapolated cost data to the broader US context. Key findings were that midwifery care is associated with a lower risk of cesarean birth and other interventions versus care provided by obstetricians and is therefore likely lower-cost.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
