Objective: To evaluate whether the success rate of oral mifepristone was not inferior to that of Foley balloon catheter for outpatient cervical ripening of term pregnancies, and whether there were differences in side effects for mothers and newborns.
Design: Open-label, non-inferiority randomised controlled trial.
Setting: A tertiary care European university hospital in an urban setting.

Background: The need for induction of labor is increasing in present obstetric practice. The available non-pharmacological methods for cervical ripening at term are Foley balloon and Dilapan-S. With the gaining popularity of Dilapan-S worldwide, there are very few clinical trials conducted in India to evaluate its effectiveness.

Objective: Recently, two randomized controlled trials compared removal of cervical ripening balloon (CRB) after 6 versus 12 h. Their results showed similar Bishop score changes in both groups and a shorter time to delivery in the 6-h group. Neither of the studies was powered to show difference in mode of delivery.

This review assessed the efficacy and safety of pharmacologic agents (prostaglandins, oxytocin, mifepristone, hyaluronidase, and nitric oxide donors) and mechanical methods (single- and double-balloon catheters, laminaria, membrane stripping, and amniotomy) and those generally considered under the rubric of complementary medicine (castor oil, nipple stimulation, sexual intercourse, herbal medicine, and acupuncture). A substantial body of published reports, including 2 large network meta-analyses, support the safety and efficacy of misoprostol (PGE1) when used for cervical ripening and labor induction. Misoprostol administered vaginally at doses of 50 μg has the highest probability of achieving vaginal delivery within 24 hours.
