Predictors of repeat cesarean delivery after trial of labor: do any exist?
Admission characteristics with statistically significant risk ratios have low predictive values because of the extremely low rate of repeat cesarean delivery in this population. A larger series is needed to study TOL outcomes in patients with large fetuses who are being induced. We conclude that until risk factors with high predictive value for repeat cesarean delivery are identified, all eligible patients should be encouraged to undergo a TOL.
Endogenous TF regulates CCL2 production in endothelial cells. Secreted CCL2 mediates the angiogenic effect of TF by recruiting smooth muscle cells toward endothelial cells and facilitates the maturation of newly formed microvessels.
