Abstract
The risks of these interventions must be considered in the context of the low absolute risks of prolonged pregnancy. There remains no clear evidence of benefit in these strategies from well-designed prospective studies. However, retrospective studies have shown reduced perinatal problems when methods to avoid prolonged pregnancy have been utilized. In addition to consideration of risks, decision-making in cases of prolonged pregnancy must also take into account healthcare resources and maternal wishes.
