Balloon (Foley or ATAD) vs low‐dose oral misoprostol

Uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes · third trimester induction of labour in women with a viable fetus

Balloon (Foley or ATAD) showed no clear difference in uterine hyperstimulation with FHR changes compared with low‐dose oral misoprostol (low certainty).

Balloon (Foley or ATAD) vs vaginal prostaglandin E2

Uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes · third trimester induction of labour in women with a viable fetus

Balloon (Foley or ATAD) probably leads to lower uterine hyperstimulation with FHR changes compared with vaginal prostaglandin E2 (moderate certainty).

Oral misoprostol 20 µg hourly titrated vs oral misoprostol 25 µg two‐hourly static

Uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes · induction of labour.

It is very uncertain whether oral misoprostol 20 µg hourly titrated changes uterine hyperstimulation with FHR changes compared with oral misoprostol 25 µg two‐hourly static (very low certainty).

(7.1) PGE2 (controlled release) vs all PGE2 delivery systems (all women)

Uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes · patients with induction of labour at term

(7.1) PGE2 (controlled release) showed no clear difference in uterine hyperstimulation with FHR changes compared with all PGE2 delivery systems (all women) (moderate certainty).
