Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • bishop score

    bishop score \>6 is accepted as successful ripening. (max. 10, and the higher bishop score means better ripening has been occurred.)

    at the time of removing the cervical ripening catheter or when the balloon was expelled spontaneously

  • vaginal delivery rate

    the difference in vaginal birth rate between groups

    until the patient gives birth

  • vaginal delivery within 24 hours

    the difference in vaginal delivery within 24 hours rate between groups

    from the time of cervical ripening catheter insertion to the 24 hours

You may not qualify if:

  • Being younger than 18 or over 40
  • Communication problems (foreign national)
  • Bishop score \>6
  • Being at active labor
  • Multifetal pregnancy
  • Non-vertex presentation
  • Scarred uterus (cesarean or myomectomy)
