Input: We included four trials, with a combined total of 1439 women in the review; each trial examined a different method of induction and we were unable to pool the results from trials. 1. Vaginal PGE2 (two studies including 1028 women). There were no differences between women managed as outpatients versus inpatients for most review outcomes. There was no evidence of a difference between the likelihood of women requiring instrumental delivery in either setting (risk ratio (RR) 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.79 to 2.13). The overall length of hospital stay was similar in the two groups. 2. Controlled release PGE2 10 mg (one study including 300 women). There was no evidence of differences between groups for most review outcomes, including success of induction. During the induction period itself, women in the outpatient group were more likely to report high levels of satisfaction with their care (satisfaction rated seven or more on a nine-point scale, RR 1.42; 95% CI 1.11 to 1.81), but satisfaction scores measured postnatally were similar in the two groups. 3. Foley catheter (one study including 111 women). There was no evidence of differences between groups for caesarean section rates, total induction time and the numbers of babies admitted to neonatal intensive care. The data available to evaluate the efficacy or potential hazards of outpatient induction are limited. It is, therefore, not yet possible to determine whether induction of labour is effective and safe in outpatient settings.
Output:

Four randomised controlled trials with a combined total of 1439 women assessed the effects of induction of labour for women managed as outpatients versus inpatients. Out of a total of four studies, the induction agents differed in two studies, whereas the remaining two studies evaluated the same induction agent (vaginal PGE2). The limited information from these trials did not support more successful induction within 24 hours, shorter length of stay in hospital or differences in need for further induction or the mode of giving birth. The information available was limited and it is, therefore, not yet possible to determine whether induction of labour is effective and safe in outpatient settings.
