>3) do you have evidence to support your management? Several studies show decrease interval to delivery, increased patient satisfaction, and decreased neonatal and maternal infection rates (while other studies show no differences). The TERMPROM study and a recent BMJ article are both useful. Using the search terms "PROM induction" in PubMED provides several articles of interest.
>4) does time of day influence your management plan? Nope. I'm here for 24 hours. But, even if it did, I wouldn't admit it on an archived Internet forum :) Ashley

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
