Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: To compare the effectiveness and safety of oxytocin and a cervical ripening balloon in women with unfavorable cervices for inducinglabor.Material and Methods: A total of eighty pregnant women between 37-41 gestational weeks having singleton pregnancies and intactmembranes with unfavorable cervices were randomized into two groups, cervical ripening balloon (n=40) and oxytocin infusion (n=40).
📊
Key Findings & Data:Secondary outcomes were the effect of parity on time of labor, and obstetricand perinatal outcomes.Results: The median time to delivery was 9.45 hours in cervical ripening balloon group and 13.2 hours in the oxytocin group in multiparouswomen.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the effectiveness and safety of oxytocin and a cervical ripening balloon in women with unfavorable cervices for inducinglabor.Material and Methods: A total of eighty pregnant women between 37-41 gestational weeks having singleton pregnancies and intactmembranes with unfavorable cervices were randomized into two groups, cervical ripening balloon (n=40) and oxytocin infusion (n=40). Theprimary outcomes were the labor time and the route of delivery. Secondary outcomes were the effect of parity on time of labor, and obstetricand perinatal outcomes.Results: The median time to delivery was 9.45 hours in cervical ripening balloon group and 13.2 hours in the oxytocin group in multiparouswomen. The differences were statistically significant (p
