OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of combination intravaginal misoprostol and intracervical Foley catheter for prelabor cervical ripening.STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted. Women who were undergoing labor induction, with a singleton gestation greater than or equal to28 weeks and an unfavorable cervix (Bishop score less than or equal to 6), were assigned to one of three groups: (1) intravaginal misoprostol 25 mug every 3 hours, (2) intracervical 16F Foley catheter, or (3) combination misoprostol-Foley catheter.RESULTS: Among 146 patients, 49 patients were assigned to misoprostol, 54 patients were assigned to Foley catheter, and 43 patients were assigned to combination therapy. There was no difference in vaginal delivery rates (misoprOstol, 63.3%; Foley, 57.4%; combination, 58.1%; P = .81). There were also no statistically significant differences in the interval between induction to active phase, active phase to delivery, or induction to delivery among the three groups.CONCLUSION: Intravaginal misoprostol and intracervical Foley catheter are comparable for preinduction cervical ripening. The combination of the two methods did not provide additional efficacy.
