Predictors of Success during Induction Trial of Labor After Cesarean: A Calculator.


Antepartum Model

Does the patient have a diagnosis of chronic hypertension?
Yes  No

Does the patient have current, former or never tobacco use?
Current    Former  Never

Was the indication for the patient' s primary cesarean labor dystocia?
Yes  No

How many prior NSVDs has the patient had?

How many prior VBACS has the patient had?

 How many years have passed since the patient's last delivery?

Probabilityof successful VBAC =


Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve: 0.73 (95% CI 0.69-0.78). ​



Time of Delivery Model :

Does the patient have current, former or never tobacco use?
Current  Former  Never 

Was the indication for the patient's prior cesareans labor dystocia?
Yes  No

Is the induction medically indicted?

Yes No

How many prior NSVDs has the patient had ?

How many prior VBACs has the patient had?

How many years have passed since the patient's last delivery?

What is the patient Simplified Bishop Score? 

What is the patient's most recent BMI?

Probability of succesful VBAC =



Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve: 0.75 (95% CI 0.71-0.79)


NSVD – normal spontaneous vaginal delivery. VBAC – Vaginal birth after cesarean. BMI – body mass index (kg/m²). *The simplified bishop score is calculated using dilation, station and effacement sub-scores only, (score 0-9)1.

Antepartum Model
Probability = 1 / 1+e^-((cHTN)(-0.61)+(tobacco use)(0.68)+(hx of tobacco use)(-0.69)+(prior cesarean indication)(- 0.41)+(NSVD)(0.36)+(VBAC)(1.33)+(Delivery interval)(-.0.08)+0.82)

Time of Delivery Model
Probability = 1 / 1+e^-((tobacco use)(0.77)+(hx of tobacco use)(-0.65)+(prior cesarean indication)(-0.42)+(NSVD)(0.39)+(VBAC)(1.27)+(Delivery interval)(-.0.07)+(Bishopscore)(0.17)+(BMI)(-0.04)+(Indicated induction)(-0.41)+2.08)

cHTN -> chronic hypertension, where 1 = yes ​
Tobacco use -> current tobacco use, where 1 = yes ​
Hx of tobacco use -> history of tobacco use, where 1 = yes ​
Prior cesarean indication -> indication for primary cesarean was labor dystocia, where 1 = yes ​
NSVD -> number prior NSVD, enter number​
VBAC -> number prior VBAC, enter number​
Delivery interval -> interval in years since last delivery ​​
Bishop score -> Simplified bishop score, enter number ​
BMI -> BMI, enter number ​
Indicated induction -> induction is medically indicated, where 1 = yes


This calculator was developed at The University of California San Diego to predict the likelihood of successful VBAC during induction of labor trial of labor after cesarean. The Antepartum Model is designed for counseling in the prenatal period, while the Time of Delivery Model is designed for counseling at the time of planned delivery. The calculator, including antepartum and time of delivery models, is available for further clinical validation, please contact drogerson@health.ucsd.edu. ​
