Abstract Objectives Induction of labour (IOL), or starting labour artificially, can be a lifesaving intervention for pregnant women and their babies, and rates are rising significantly globally. As rates increase, it becomes increasingly important to fully evaluate all available data, especially that from low income settings where the potential benefits and harms are greater. The goal of this paper is to describe the datasets collected as part of the Induction with Foley OR Misoprostol (INFORM) Study, a randomised trial comparing two of the recommended methods of cervical ripening for labour induction, oral misoprostol and Foley catheter, in women being induced for hypertension in pregnancy, at two sites in India during 2013–15. Data description This dataset includes comprehensive data on 602 women who underwent IOL for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Women were randomly assigned to cervical ripening with oral misoprostol or a transcervical Foley catheter in two government hospitals in India. The main dataset has 367 variables including monitoring during the induction of labour, medications administered, timing and mode of delivery, measures of neonatal morbidity and mortality, maternal mortality and morbidity, maternal satisfaction and health economic data. The dataset is anonymised and available on ReShare.

Background: In cervical ripening, before induction of labour, is needed to increase the success of labour induction, to reduce complications and to diminish the rate of caesarean section and duration of labour. Pharmacological preparations are in widespread use for cervical ripening but are not free from side-effects and complications. Mechanical methods, i.e. the use of Foley’s catheter balloon, though effective have not gained much popularity because of the fear of infection. Therefore, the study has been conducted to prove the efficacy and safety of extra amniotic Foley catheter balloon and to compare it with intra-cervical prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) gel. The objective of the study was to the success of induction of labor depends on the cervical status at the time of induction. For effective cervical ripening both Foley's catheter and PGE2 gel are used. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intra cervical Foley's catheter and intra cervical PGE2 gel in cervical ripening for the successful induction of labor.Methods: A randomized, comparative study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Civil hospital, B.J. Medical College Ahmedabad, during a period of 8 month from September 2018 to April 2019. 100 patients at term with a Bishop's score ≤5 with various indications for induction were randomly allocated to group F (intra-cervical Foley’s catheter) and group P (PGE2 gel) with 50 women included in each group.Results: The groups were comparable with respect to maternal age, gestation age, indication of induction and initial Bishop's score. Both the groups showed significant change in the Bishop's score, 5.10±1.55 and 5.14±1.60 for Foley's catheter and PGE2 gel, respectively, p <0.001. However there was no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the side effects and caesarean section rate in both groups. The induction to delivery interval was 16.01±5.50 hours in group F and 16.85 ± 3.81 hours in group P (p=0.073). Apgar scores, birth weights and NICU admissions showed no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions: The study shows that both Foley's catheter and PGE2 gel are equally effective in pre induction cervical ripening.

Background: Incidence of induction of labour has increased in the recent past due to increased screening facilities like ante partum fetal surveillance. Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is one of the strategies developed to control the rising rate of caesarean sections. Intracervical Foley’s catheter reduces the risk of uterus hyper tonicity and rupture in women with one caesarean section as it’s placement induces the cervical repining without inducing any uterine contractions.Methods: A prospective study of 35 women with one previous LCSs, term gestation and singleton pregnancy, were selected for trial of labour (TOL) considering inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: Out of 35 cases studied 21 cases (60%) went for successful induction with Foleys and the remaining 40% underwent caesarean section. The mean time interval for Foley’s expulsion was 6.74 in the success group and 10.04 in the failed group (p value <0.05). In 4 cases there were meconium stained liquor, and they underwent emergency LSCS. One case (2.8%) had scar rupture which also underwent caesarean section.Conclusions: This study shows that the Foley catheter is an effective method of cervical ripening with additional benefit of low cost, reversibility, easy availability and lack of need for special storage. This method confers significant improvement in Bishop Score and vaginal delivery was achieved in majority of patients.

Background: The present study aims to compare the results of EASI followed by oral misoprostol and oral misoprostol alone for induction of labour in pregnancies of more than 28 weeks with intrauterine foetal death. Methods: The present observational and prospective study is an attempt to compare the efficacy of extra-amniotic saline instillation with Foley catheter prior to oral misoprostol and oral misoprostol alone in induction of labour of pregnancies more than 28 weeks with intrauterine fetal death. Results: Most of the cases delivered vaginally in both study groups. The mean induction delivery time in group I was higher than group II and the results were statistically significant on comparing both groups. In group I, 78% cases were delivered within 24 hours whereas in group II 96% cases delivered within 24 hours of induction. There was no significant difference in the mean number of required misoprostol in both groups (p>0.05). Need of supplementation with oxytocin was more in group I as compared to group II and the p value is significant (p<0.01). Mean birth weight in group I was 2.25±0.75 kg and in group II was 2.27±0.77 kg. Maximum number of babies had birth weight between 1.52-2.50 kg with 44% in group I and 40% in group II (p>0.05). Only 4 cases had uterine tachysystole and only 1case had postpartum pyrexia. Very few complications were recorded in both the study groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that oral misoprostol tablet alone is more effective at inducing and setting up the active labour in pregnancies of >28 weeks with intrauterine foetal death than EASI followed by oral misoprostol. It is inexpensive, has a long shelf life, can be easily stored at room temperature and patient remains ambulatory after induction with oral misoprostol. Oral misoprostol alone seems to have an edge over extra-amniotic saline instillation followed by oral misoprostol in all aspects. Keywords: Misoprostol, Extra-amniotic saline, Induction of labour.
