These are just three papers that you could look at, but you should really
go to your library and do a proper search of the literature. I am sure
that there will be a large amount of information.
Buist R (1999). “For whom is the Caesarean section rate high?” New Zealand
Medical Journal 112(1101): 469-471.
Duff C and Sinclair M (2000). “Exploring the risks associated with
induction of labour: a retrospective study using the NIMATS database.
Northern Ireland Maternity System.” Journal of Advanced Nursing 31(2):
410-417.
Seyb S, Berka R, Socol M and Dooley S (1999). “Risk of caesarean delivery
with elective induction of labor at term in nulliparous women.” Obstetrics
& Gynecology 94(4): 600-607.
