Prospective observational study investigating the effectiveness, safety, women’s experiences and quality of life at 3 months regarding cervical ripening methods for induction of labor at term—The MATUCOL study protocol

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background The purposes of successful induction of labor (IOL) are to shorten the time for IOL to delivery, increase the vaginal delivery rate, and reduce the rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity. In cases of unfavorable cervix (Bishop score
