“…If sufficient ripening was not achieved to permit amniotomy after catheter removal at 24 h, dinoprostone vaginal tablet labor induction was offered after maternal and fetal wellbeing were ascertained.

“…Subsequent management of labor induction was conducted according to our center's standard labor induction protocol, that is, amniotomy would be performed when feasible (cervical dilation of at least 3 cm and station no higher than 2 cm above ischial spines) followed by titrated oxytocin infusion if required for all three arms and described in greater detail in a recent report. 14 If sufficient ripening was not achieved to permit amniotomy after catheter removal at 24 h, dinoprostone vaginal tablet labor induction was offered after maternal and fetal wellbeing were ascertained. Intrapartum care was conducted under our center's labor care protocol with delivery decisions made by the attending provider.…”

Aim To explore digital insertion in dorsal recumbent position of 16F, 22F, or 28F catheter bores on insertion failure, duration, and pain in unripe cervix labor induction. Methods A randomized trial was performed in a University hospital in Malaysia. Term women scheduled for labor induction, Bishop score ≤ 5, singleton, cephalic presentation, intact membrane, and reassuring pre‐induction fetal heart rate tracing were recruited. Women with known gross fetal anomaly, allergy to latex and inability to consent or language difficulty were excluded. Participants were randomized to 16F, 22F, or 28F Foley catheter. Primary outcome was insertion failure and main secondary outcomes were insertion duration and pain (assessed by a Visual Numerical Rating Scale [VNRS] 0–10, higher score more pain). Analysis is done by analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal–Wallis, and chi square test across the three arms and by t test and Mann–Whitney U test for pair wise comparisons. Results One hundred twenty‐seven participants' data were analyzed. The insertion failure 7/43(16%) versus 4/42(10%) versus 5/42(12%), p = 0.64, insertion duration median [IQR] 2.8 [1.8–4.8] versus 2.8 [1.7–3.7] versus 2.8 [1.7–4.3] min, p = 0.68 and insertion pain VNRS mean {SD} 4.2 {2.5} versus 3.4 {2.3} versus 3.6 {2.2}, p = 0.26, insertion to delivery interval 26.0 {9.7} versus 25.6 {9.1} versus 22.8 {7.4} h, p = 0.45, and spontaneous vaginal delivery 20/43 (45%) versus 23/42(55%) versus 25/42(60%), p = 0.48 for 16F versus 22F versus 28F arms, respectively. Pairwise comparisons were not different. Conclusion Foley catheter 16F versus 22F versus 28F resulted in similar digital insertion performance in the dorsal recumbent position for unripe cervix labor induction.

“…For these reasons, women’s experiences and satisfaction are increasingly evaluated in clinical studies comparing the effectiveness of induction methods [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Studying women’s preferences and feelings about their experiences of IOL could help to better consider them in decisions about their care.…”

Background: In France, more than 20% of women require induction of labor (IOL), which can be psychologically and emotionally challenging for patients. It is important to assess how they feel about their IOL experiences. Our aim was to cross-culturally adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of a French version of the EXIT to assess women’s experiences of IOL. Methods: The EXIT was cross-culturally adapted by conducting forward and backward translations following international guidelines. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the ten French EXIT items: data completeness, factor analysis, internal consistency, score distribution, floor and ceiling effects, inter-subscale correlations, convergent validity, and test–retest reliability. Results: The EXIT was successfully cross-culturally adapted to the French context and any IOL method. The results obtained from 163 patients requiring IOL showed good acceptability. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a three-factor solution with subscales reflecting the experiential aspects of time taken to give birth, discomfort with IOL, and subsequent contractions. Good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha or Spearman correlation coefficients ranging from 0.55 to 0.84) and good test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.66 to 0.85) for the three identified subscales were found. Conclusions: The ten-item French EXIT is a valid and reliable instrument for the self-assessment of women’s experiences of IOL in the three weeks following delivery for any method of IOL used. As a patient-reported outcome measure, it would allow the comparison of experiential outcomes across IOL studies in order to include women’s preferences in decisions regarding their care.
