Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Oxytocin | This arm will receive oxytocin at a rate of 2 milliunits/milliliter. If the fetal status is reassuring, this can be increased by 2 milliunits/milliliter every 30 minutes to achieve an adequate contraction pattern as per the institution's definition to a maximum of 30 milliunits/milliliter. This infusion may be continued until delivery.~Oxytocin: Each arm will receive oxytocin at a rate of 2 milliunits/milliliter. If the fetal status is reassuring, this can be increased by 2 milliunits/milliliter every 30 minutes to achieve an adequate contraction pattern as per the institution's definition to a maximum of 30 milliunits/milliliter. This infusion may be continued until delivery. | 6 | 21 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Foley Catheter and Oxytocin | Foley Catheter: A 30cc/16 French (16F) foley catheter will be inserted. Balloon will be inflated with 30 cc of sterile saline. The catheter will be taped to the patient's leg so that traction is maintained. The catheter will be assessed hourly for expulsion by a health care provider by applying gentle traction on the catheter or a vaginal examination if it is unclear by traction. Once the Foley catheter is expelled or 12 hours reached, the induction will be continued with oxytocin per this protocol.~Oxytocin: administered concurrently at a rate of 2 milliunits/milliliter. If the fetal status is reassuring, this can be increased by 2 milliunits/milliliter every 30 minutes to achieve an adequate contraction pattern as per the institution's definition to a maximum of 30 milliunits/milliliter. This infusion may be continued until delivery. | 8 | 25 | OG001 |

Outcome
- Type
- SECONDARY
- Title
- Rate of Failed Induction of Labor as the Indication for Cesarean
- Description
This will be defined by a combination of provider documentation and cervical dilation of ≤4cm/90% effaced or ≤5cm/any effacement after a minimum of 12 hours of oxytocin in the setting of adequate contraction.~One patient was missing information for failed induction.
