TL;DR: In unselected women with a multiple pregnancy, prophylactic use of a cervical pessary does not reduce poor perinatal outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In women with an unfavourable cervix at term, induction of labour with a Foley catheter is similar to induction with prostaglandin E2 gel, with fewer maternal and neonatal side-effects.

Kaplan,Anton H. van Kaam,Henk Groen,Martina Porath,Paul P. van den Berg,Ben W.J. Mol,Maureen T.M. Franssen,Josje Langenveld +25 more
TL;DR: For women with non-severe hypertensive disorders at 34-37 weeks of gestation, immediate delivery might reduce the already small risk of adverse maternal outcomes, however, it significantly increases the risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, therefore, routine immediate delivery does not seem justified and a strategy of expectant monitoring until the clinical situation deteriorates can be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM), the incidence of neonatal sepsis was low, and the induction of labor (IoL) did not reduce this risk, according to a nationwide multicenter study.
