Comparison of the efficacy between controlled-release dinoprostone delivery system (PROPESS) and Cook's double balloon catheter plus oxytocin: A retrospective single-center study in Japan.

Our findings suggest the possibility of slight advantages of PROPESS for scheduled induction of labor. In women with early term and extremely low Bishop scores, Cook's DBC plus oxytocin may be a superior or alternative treatment to PROPESS. Therefore, the optimal choice of induction treatment should be managed on an individual basis.
