Tables 3.5b presents rates <strong>of</strong> <strong>induction</strong> from developing country hospitals identified via<br />

the literature review. Induction rates cited from two recent studies in Nigeria show rates<br />

(between 2002 <strong>and</strong> 2006) <strong>of</strong> 16 <strong>and</strong> 18 percent (13, 96). The <strong>induction</strong> rates from dated<br />

studies in Fiji <strong>and</strong> Brazil documented <strong>induction</strong> rates <strong>of</strong> 14 percent (1986-1996) <strong>and</strong> 31<br />

percent (1993), respectively (14, 15). A review by Buekens <strong>of</strong> oxytocic use in the first<br />

<strong>and</strong> second stages <strong>of</strong> lab<strong>or</strong> in ten sub-Saharan African, Caribbean <strong>and</strong> Asian countries in<br />

the early to mid 1990’s shows great variation in augmentation rates, with hospital-based<br />

rates ranging from 2 percent in Senegal to 31 percent in Nepal (97). See Table 3.5c.<br />
