| Costs of induction - Resource use will be derived from the Case Report Form. - Different methods and sources will be used to estimate unit costs as valuations for documented volumes of resource use. For maternal and neonatal admissions, delivery and neonatal monitoring, unit costs will be estimated with data from the financial department of Bronovo hospital. For use of the labour room and the operating theatre, unit costs are calculated per hour, using a bottom-up approach. For some cost units, national standardised prices will be used, and for laboratory testing, published tariffs will be used. Medication prices will be derived from the Pharmacotherapeutic Compass. Induction to delivery time (deliveries within 12 hours, and 24 hours, of Foley catheter placement) Induction to catheter expulsion time Bishop score after catheter expulsion Mode of delivery Umbilical cord prolapse Maternal morbidity - Hyperstimulation (defined as more than six contractions in ten minutes over a minimal period of two times ten minutes, or a contraction lasting more than three minutes) - Uterine rupture - Placental abruption - Maternal infection - Fever (defined as an aural temperature * 38°C) during labour or within one week post partum - Foetal tachycardia - Start of intravenous antibiotics - Endometritis within one week post partum - Vaginal swab culture Post partum haemorrhage (defined as an estimated blood loss of >1000 cc) Neonatal morbidity - Apgar scores | — |
