Outpatient balloon catheter vs inpatient prostaglandin for induction of labour (OBLIGE): a randomised controlled trial

DiscussionIf outpatient balloon-catheter induction reduces caesarean section rates, has additional clinical benefits, and is safe, cost-effective, and acceptable to women and clinicians, we anticipate change in induction of labour practice around the world. We think that home-based balloon-catheter induction will be welcomed as part of a patient-centred labour-induction care package for pregnant women.Trial registrationAustralia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR), ACTRN:12616000739415.
