lower costs directly related to the method (-C ¼ 1,371.16), however associated hospitalisation costs were higher due to longer hospitalisation (5 days versus 4 days). Conclusion Even though CRB is an effective method to induce labour at a lower cost than Propess in our pilot test, a longer hospitalisation length was observed with this device. Further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and all direct costs involved in these techniques and also considering other available methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
