Safety and effectiveness of different modes of labor induction among pregnant women delivering at referral hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: a cohort study
Oxytocin was the most effective and safest method for labor induction within 24 h, resulting in favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes. Healthcare workers should prioritize oxytocin for timely deliveries, while considering alternatives like dinoprostone, misoprostol, and balloon catheter based on individual patient needs and clinical circumstances.
