Obesity, Labor Induction
Cervical Ripening for Obese Women: A Randomized, Comparative Effectiveness Trial
Obese pregnant women (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) are more likely than their normal-weight counterparts to require induction of labor because of increased rates of obstetric complications including pregnancy related hypertensive disorders…

Induced Vaginal Delivery
Tension Versus Tension- Free Foley Balloon for Cervical Ripening
Foley balloons are commonly used as a mechanical method of cervical ripening for induction of labor. Foley balloons may be placed either under tension or without tension (tension-free).
- Trial name
