To assess whether outpatient cervical ripening with a transcervical Foley catheter in nulliparous women undergoing elective labor induction shortens the time from admission to delivery.
We performed a randomized controlled trial of patients with singleton pregnancies undergoing elective labor induction at 39 weeks of gestation or more with a modified Bishop score less than 5. Women were randomized 1:1 to outpatient or inpatient transcervical Foley. In the outpatient group, the Foley was inserted the day before admission for scheduled induction; insertion was performed at scheduled admission in the inpatient group. The primary outcome was duration of time from admission to the labor and delivery unit to delivery. With 80% power and a two-sided α of 0.05, a sample size of 126 was estimated to detect at least a 5-hour mean difference in time from admission to delivery between groups from a baseline duration of 19±10 hours.
From May 2018 to October 2019, 126 women were randomized, 63 in each group. Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups, except that body mass index (31±5.4 vs 34±7.5, P=.01) and group B streptococcus colonization (31% vs 54%, P=.01) were lower in the outpatient group. The time from admission to delivery was shorter in the outpatient group (17.4±7.4 vs 21.7±9.1 hours, P<.01, mean difference 4.3 hours, 95% CI 1.3-7.2). Admissions before scheduled induction were higher in the outpatient group (22% vs 5%, relative risk [RR] 4.7, 95% CI 1.4-15.4, P<.01), as was median modified Bishop score on admission (3 vs 1, P<.01). Cesarean delivery (24% vs 32%, RR 0.8, 95% CI 0.4-1.3, P=.32) and chorioamnionitis (22% vs 13%, RR 1.8, 95% CI 0.8-3.9, P=.16) were not significantly different between groups.
In nulliparous patients undergoing elective labor induction at term, outpatient cervical ripening with a transcervical Foley catheter reduced the time from admission to delivery.

评估初产妇经阴道放置 Foley 导管行门诊宫颈成熟术是否能缩短从入院到分娩的时间。
我们对孕 39 周或以上、改良 Bishop 评分<5 分且行择期引产的单胎妊娠患者进行了一项随机对照试验。患者被 1:1 随机分配至门诊或住院经阴道 Foley 导管组。在门诊组,Foley 导管在入院前一天插入,以便安排引产;在住院组,Foley 导管在计划入院时插入。主要结局是从入院到分娩单元到分娩的时间。根据 80%的效能和双侧 0.05 的 α 值,估计需要 126 例样本量,以检测从入院到分娩的平均时间在两组之间至少有 5 小时的差异,该差异基于 19±10 小时的基线时间。
2018 年 5 月至 2019 年 10 月,共有 126 名女性被随机分配至两组,每组 63 名。两组之间的基线特征平衡,除门诊组的体重指数(31±5.4 比 34±7.5,P=.01)和 B 组链球菌定植(31%比 54%,P=.01)较低外。门诊组从入院到分娩的时间更短(17.4±7.4 比 21.7±9.1 小时,P<.01,平均差异 4.3 小时,95%CI 1.3-7.2)。门诊组的计划引产前入院率更高(22%比 5%,相对风险[RR] 4.7,95%CI 1.4-15.4,P<.01),入院时改良 Bishop 评分中位数也更高(3 分比 1 分,P<.01)。两组之间剖宫产率(24%比 32%,RR 0.8,95%CI 0.4-1.3,P=.32)和绒毛膜羊膜炎(22%比 13%,RR 1.8,95%CI 0.8-3.9,P=.16)差异无统计学意义。
在择期行足月引产的初产妇中,经阴道放置 Foley 导管行门诊宫颈成熟术可缩短从入院到分娩的时间。
