Abstract
Induction of labour is one of the most common procedures used in obstetrics and its prevalence tends to increase. In patients with an unripe cervix (Bishop score < 7) pre-induction procedures are used before the start of oxytocin induction. Currently there is no consensus among scientific societies on the optimal way of pre-induction. We have conducted a single-centre retrospective observational study comparing obstetric induction results of patients after 37 weeks of gestation who were pre-induced with misoprostol vaginal insert (MVI) with 200 μg of misoprostol (Misodel - Ferring Pharmaceuticals Poland) or Foley catheter (20 F, 60 mL baloon).
