Comparison of balloon catheter and oral misoprostol for cervical ripening in women with pre‐labor rupture of membranes: A Finnish randomized controlled trial
Our results showed almost threefold frequency of chorioamnionitis and twofold frequency of neonatal infections following the use of BC compared to OM, although the study was underpowered for reaching statistical significance. The use of prophylactic antibiotics during BC retention did not reduce the incidence of infections.
