The rising prevalence fof fetal macrosomia represents a significant challenge in obstetrics, affecting both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Such challenges include complications like perineal tears and postpartum hemorrhage. Concurrently, the frequency of labor induction practices on the rise, yet the implications for neonatal weight are inadequately understood. To address this gap, our study aims to evaluate the association between labor induction and neontal birth weight through a population-based cohort study. The findings have the potential to inform more accurate clinical guidelines, thereby enhancing the quality of maternity care.
