Conclusions
PROM, intraamniotic infection
IOL
In conclusion, our study showed that both oral misoprostol and oxytocin are effective and safe for IOL in patients with PROM, with shorter induction-delivery interval in patients induced by oral misoprostol, an effect that’s clear in multiparous but not primiparous women. We recommend oral misoprostol for IOL in multiparous women with PROM, to shorten the time of induction and possibly reduce the likelihood of intraamniotic infection.
