Outcome of Concurrent Versus Sequential Method of Induction of Labour in Term Pregnancy
Sponsor: Khyber Medical University Peshawar
Summary
This randomized controlled trial will compare two methods of induction of labour in women with term pregnancy: concurrent use of a Foley catheter and PGE2 vaginal pessary versus sequential use of the two methods. The study will assess whether using both methods concurrently is more effective and safe than using them sequentially. The primary focus is the rate of vaginal delivery within 24 hours after initiation of induction. Participants will be women with term pregnancy (37-42 weeks) admitted for induction of labour without significant comorbidities.
