Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial] is to compare the outcomes between induction to labour at home versus hospitalized. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can the induction to labour at home with cervical rippening ballon increase the vaginal delivery rate?
- Will the induction to labour at home increase maternal satisfaction
- Will the induction to labour at home improve medical circuits and coulb it be cost effective? Participants who meet inclusion criteria will undergo randomization so as to be asignated an induction to labour at home or in the hospital.
Researchers will compare both labour induction groups to see if the induction to labour at home has better outcomes as described previously.
Detailed Description
INDOBAMHOS is a multicentric randomized clinical trial which is based in the principle that cervical rippening with intracervical probes with ballons is as safe as pharmacological induction with PGE2 and it seems to be a suitable option to develop the cervical rippening process of the induction at home rather than in the hospital.
The purpouse of the study is to demonstrate that the comfort of performing the cervical rippenning at home will benefit patients with an increase of the vaginal delivery rate and increases maternal satisfaction. And also will improve medical circuits and could be cost-effective when compared to hospitalized labour induction.
