Therapies and Procedures

1. Induced Labor
01/01/2018 - "The effectiveness and safety of labor induction were evaluated by the rates of successful cervical ripening promotion and labor induction, as well as the vaginal delivery rate, induced labor time, total duration of labor, the total amount of postpartum hemorrhage within 24 h after giving birth, the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, cervical laceration, puerperal infection and neonatal outcomes. "
11/01/2020 - "After we adjusted for demographic and metabolic risk factors, cirrhosis was independently associated with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (relative risk [RR], 10.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 7.49-15.12), induction of labor (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.03-1.28), puerperal infections (RR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.02-1.70), preterm birth (RR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.35-1.89), infants who were large for gestational age (RR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.05-1.46), and neonatal respiratory distress (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.02-1.42). "
09/01/2023 - "Conclusion An intracervical Foley catheter with 25 µg of misoprostol was more effective for induction of labor than 25 µg of intravaginal misoprostol alone every six hours for a maximum of four doses in terms of induction to delivery interval, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, mode of delivery, intrapartum complications, and puerperal infection."
01/01/2022 - "This study aimed to explore the effect of prophylactic antibiotics during labor induction of nulliparous women with obesity on the rates of cesarean delivery and puerperal infection and to estimate the parameters needed to calculate the sample size for a larger, multicenter trial. "
01/01/2020 - "We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of induction of labor using the improved Bishop score after CCRB or PGE2 administration, total stage of labor, hours until delivery (hours from placement of CCRB or PGE2 insert to parturition and delivery), delivery rate within 24 h, spontaneous delivery rate, successful induction rate, overstimulation syndrome, urgent delivery rate, pain scores, cesarean section rate, and outcomes related to delivery and perinatal morbidity, such as puerperal infection rate, total cost, satisfaction survey, and so on.
