Induction of labor with high ‐ or low‐dosage oral misoprostol – a Danish descriptive retrospective cohort study 2015‐16

ConclusionsThe low ‐dosage induction protocol was associated with favorable obstetric outcomes in terms of increased probability of vaginal delivery, however with higher risk of vacuum extraction. Protracted inductions and additional non‐medical interventions were reduced. There were no cases of uterine rupture. S tatistically non‐significant, the risk of uterine hyper‐stimulation was increased whereas the risk of meconium‐stained liquor and of caesarean section was slightly decreased.
