Well, the headline says it all. UCSF’s Aaron Caughey has just published a meta-analysis in Annals of Internal Medicine that shatters the dogma of elective induction’s being associated with cesarean delivery. I hope you’ll enjoy the conversation.
There won’t be a Clinical Conversation next week — I’m taking a week off — but the chit-chat returns in two weeks.
Older conversations are all archived here at podcasts.jwatch.org, and you can leave me a note at 1-617-440-4374 or at jelia@nejm.org.
