Abstract
Objective
Balloon catheters have shown promising results in the induction of labor (IOL); however, evidence regarding the optimal time of balloon catheter placement is still lacking. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 6-hour placement compared to 12 hours.
Data Source
We conducted a comprehensive search through a search strategy across “Embase, SCOPUS, PubMed (via MEDLINE), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)” from inception until April 20, 2024.
Study Eligibility Criteria
We included the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy and safety of 6-hour balloon catheter placement compared with 12 hours for cervical ripening in IOL. Covidence was used to screen eligible articles.
Methods
All relevant outcome data were synthesized using risk ratios (RR) or mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in meta-analysis models within RevMan 5.4. PROSPERO ID: CRD42024540935.
Results
We included five RCTs with 960 women undergoing the IOL with balloon catheter placement. Six-hour placement was associated with significant lower insertion to overall delivery interval (MD: –4.25, 95% CI [–5.34, –3.15], P<.00001) and insertion to vaginal delivery interval (MD: –4.65, 95% CI [–6.08, –3.23], P<0.00001) without significant difference in BISHOP score change (MD: –0.02, 95% CI [–0.23, 0.20], P=.88), catheter removal to delivery interval (MD: 0.72, 95% CI [–0.39, 1.83], P=.20) and total duration of oxytocin infusion (MD: –0.36, 95% CI [–0.85, 0.14], P=.16) compared to 12 hours. Also, significantly lower overall cesarean delivery (CD) rate (RR: 0.81, 95% CI [0.68, 0.96], P=.01) and CD due to malpresentation (RR: 0.39, 95% CI [0.16, 0.93], P=.03) were observed with 6-hour placement.
Conclusion
A planned 6-hour balloon catheter placement reduced insertion to delivery intervals and CD rate and has equal efficacy in BISHOP score change and catheter removal to delivery interval compared to 12 hours.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) is a highly esteemed publication with two companion titles. One of these is the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Maternal-Fetal Medicine (AJOG MFM), which is dedicated to the latest research in the field of maternal-fetal medicine, specifically concerning high-risk pregnancies. The journal encompasses a wide range of topics, including:
Maternal Complications: It addresses significant studies that have the potential to change clinical practice regarding complications faced by pregnant women.
Fetal Complications: The journal covers prenatal diagnosis, ultrasound, and genetic issues related to the fetus, providing insights into the management and care of fetal health.
Prenatal Care: It discusses the best practices in prenatal care to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the unborn child.
Intrapartum Care: It provides guidance on the care provided during the childbirth process, which is critical for the safety of both mother and baby.
Postpartum Issues: The journal also tackles issues that arise after childbirth, focusing on the postpartum period and its implications for maternal health. AJOG MFM serves as a reliable forum for peer-reviewed research, with a preference for randomized trials and meta-analyses. The goal is to equip researchers and clinicians with the most current information and evidence-based strategies to effectively manage high-risk pregnancies and to provide the best possible care for mothers and their unborn children.
