title: Factors associated with vaginal delivery in hypertensive and normotensive pregnant women submitted to labor induction with misoprostol: a cohort study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the factors associated with vaginal delivery in hypertensive and normotensive pregnant women submitted to induction of labor with misoprostol.
  
  
  METHODS
  A cohort study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The factors associated with vaginal delivery in both normotensive and hypertensive women were, respectively, Bishop score ≥ 4 (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.06-3.29; p = 0.03) and (OR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.25-4.28; p = 0.008) and parity ≥ 1 (OR = 4.36; 95% CI: 2.16-8.80; p < 0.0001) and (OR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.36-5.04; p = 0.004).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The factors associated with vaginal delivery were Bishop score ≥ 4 and parity ≥ 1 irrespective of whether or not the women were hypertensive.
