Abstract
Diagnosing active labor prior to admission or prior to intervention aimed at speeding labor after admission may decrease likelihoods for primary cesarean births. The NICE dilation-rate based active labor diagnostic guideline is more inclusive than Friedman or ACOG/SMFM guidelines and its use may be the most clinically-useful for improving the likelihood of vaginal birth among parous women.
