Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA prospective randomized study comparing misoprostol and oxytocin for premature rupture of membranes at term.
The aim of this randomized trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of vaginal misoprostol and oxytocin for cervical ripening and labor induction in patients with premature rupture of membrane (PROM) at term. ⋯ Our study demonstrates that, intravaginally, misoprostol results in a similar interval from induction of labor to delivery when compared to oxytocin.
