Fig. 1 Multiple bar diagram showing the distribution of age groups in both the study groups

This did not differ significantly between the two study groups.

In low BS group 60 % patients were nulliparas and 40 % were multiparas. Similarly, in the high BS group 78% patients were nulliparas and 22% were multiparas. Majority of the patients in both the study groups were nullparas. So, more nulliparas than multiparas needed induction of labour in this study.

The difference in gestational age in both groups was not significant statistically (P=0.2496). The mean gestational age was 40.37  1.26 weeks and 40.41  1.24 weeks in low BS and high BS groups respectively.
