What is 1080 Mechanical cervical ripening after rupture of membranes and risk of chorioamnionitis: systematic review and meta-analysis about?

## OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if singleton pregnancies with prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) or preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) undergoing cervical ripening with a Foley balloon catheter (FBC) have an increased risk of chorioamnionitis compared to women using non-mechanical induction methods. STUDY DESIGN: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Clinical Trials, Web of Science and Clinical Trials.gov were systematically searched from 1/ 1/1984 to 7/7/2020 for full text randomized studies. Studies that involved singleton pregnancies in vertex presentation with PROM or PPROM, reported on maternal infection, and compared groups with a FBC to other cervical ripening methods were included. The primary outcome was chorioamnionitis and secondary outcomes included endometritis, duration of labor and mode of delivery. Articles were screened by 2 independent reviewers with discrepancies addressed by a 3rd. Odds ratio (OR), or weight mean difference (WMD), with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using random effect or fixed effects models for outcomes with and without significant heterogeneity respectively using RevMan v5.4. RESULTS: Overall, 2544 studies were screened with 35 fu
