Outcomes of mifepristone usage for cervical ripening and induction of labour in full-term pregnancy. Randomized controlled trial

Mifepristone was efficient on inducing cervical ripening and labour in full-term pregnancy. There were no significant difference in main maternal and neonatal outcomes between mifepristone use and expectant management. There were no serious adverse side effects of mifepristone, but there were some features of the course of labor, like more painful uterine contractions and trend of higher rate of cephalopelvic disproportion, that might be directly related to the mifepristone action.
