Description
Summary:Background There is no consensus about the ideal cervical ripening method to use for induction of labour. Objective To compare in current practice the effectiveness and safety of four cervical ripening methods. Methods We performed a matched comparative study using data from the MEDIP prospective population‐based cohort conducted during one month in 2015 in all maternity units of seven French perinatal networks (3042 consecutive women with a live fetus and induction of labour). We analysed 1671 women with singleton cephalic fetus, unscarred uterus, and bishop score
