Comparison of the efficacy and safety of dinoprostone and double-balloon catheters in cervical ripening: a propensity score matching retrospective study

The methods of prompting cervical ripening (CR) include mechanical and pharmacological approaches. The former seems safer. However, this superiority may change with the application of a new labor curve. Therefore, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of dinoprostone and double-balloon catheters (DBC) in promoting CR in induction of labor (IOL).
