The relative importance of prognostic factors in the management of delivery after caesarean section was investigated retrospectively in 300 patients who gave birth between January 1984 and April 1986. Important factors included the parity of the patient (p less than 0.0001), the number of previous caesareans (p less than 0.001), the Bishop's Score on admission (p less than 0.005) and the indication for the previous caesarean section (p less than 0.05). On our series gestational age (p = 0.042) and estimated birthweight (n.s.) were only marginally statistically significant.
