Abstract: Objective: To determine the factors associated with vaginal delivery in hypertensive and normotensive pregnant women submitted to induction of labor with misoprostol.<br />Methods: A cohort study.<br />Results: The factors associated with vaginal delivery in both normotensive and hypertensive women were, respectively, Bishop score ≥ 4 (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.06-3.29; p = 0.03) and (OR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.25-4.28; p = 0.008) and parity ≥ 1 (OR = 4.36; 95% CI: 2.16-8.80; p < 0.0001) and (OR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.36-5.04; p = 0.004).<br />Conclusion: The factors associated with vaginal delivery were Bishop score ≥ 4 and parity ≥ 1 irrespective of whether or not the women were hypertensive.
