Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomised controlled trial comparing cervical ripening using foley catheter as in- or outpatient setting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of outpatient versus inpatient Foley catheter cervical ripening and patients' satisfaction. Sixty low-risk women were randomized to outpatient and inpatient management of intracervical Foley catheter digital insertion. The outpatient group was provided with verbal and written 24-hours contact information and instructions. Both groups were reassessed the next morning unless labor had begun or the catheter had dropped off.
