The main question in this work is whether the introduction of this new method could help obstetricians/midwives to make a more informed decision in the delivery room. When no information about AFL is available, a good guess would be that arrested delivery will end in a vaginal delivery after a proper administration of oxytocin. If that assumption was correct, the overall percentage of correct classifications of labor outcomes in this study would be 69.4% (Table 4). The sensitivity for an operative delivery would be 0% and the specificity 100%. If the measure of AFL had been used together with the partogram, the overall percentage of correct classifications is better (84%). 39% of the women who had an operative intervention at a later stage would have been identified earlier in the process through their raised AFL levels, hopefully with a higher possibility of avoiding a long and painful parturition. 39% can be perceived as a rather low figure, but in clinical obstetrics of today’s, this prediction cannot be made at all.
