Obstetric ultrasound for estimated fetal weight: is the information more harm than benefit?

Obstetric ultrasound for estimated fetal weight: is the information more harm than benefit?

 Interestingly, there were fewer midwifery patients in the ultrasound group and having a midwifery provider was associated with a 50% reduction in the risk of cesarean. However, it does not appear that this factor accounted for the difference in the 2 groups as it was controlled for in the multivariable model. One interesting factor about the multivariable model was the lack of an association between induction of labor and cesarean. This has been reported recently by other authors, and it is intriguing given the national concern over induction and the purported risk of cesarean.
