Key Points Question Does academic achievement differ in children delivered by induction at term compared with those whose mothers were managed expectantly? Findings In this cohort study, there were no differences in third-grade reading and math scores among children delivered by induction at 39 or 40 weeks compared with those whose mothers were expectantly managed past those gestational ages. Meaning These findings suggest that labor induction at term does not appear to be associated with poorer test scores when those children are in third grade.
