Evaluation of mechanical and nonmechanical methods of cervix ripening in women with pre-labor rupture of membranes: a randomized controlled trial.

In pre-labor rupture of membranes cases, cervical ripening with a Foley catheter was associated with a longer duration of ripening and time from induction to delivery than cervical ripening with misoprostol. The cesarean delivery rate and the maternal and neonatal infection rates were not different between these methods.
