| Abstract | Introduction Intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), one of the most tragic outcomes of pregnancy, affects approximately 1% of pregnancies. This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy and safety of mifepristone combined with misoprostol versus misoprostol alone in inducing labor in women with IUFD. Methods We conducted a comprehensive literature search of scientific databases from their inception up to July 29, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the Efficacy and Safety of mifepristone and misoprostol with misoprostol alone in women with IUFD were included. The quality of the included RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB). All analyses were performed using RevMan version 5.4. To determine the quality of evidence, we used the GRADE tool. Results Ten RCTs were included in the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. The analysis revealed a significant reduction in the induction delivery interval with the combination treatment, with a total mean difference of - 7.86 h (MD = - 7.86, 95% CI: - 9.98 to - 5.73, p < 0.00001), favoring mifepristone plus misoprostol. There was a significant reduction in the number of misoprostol doses needed (MD = - 1.38, 95% CI: - 1.82 to - 0.94, p < 0.00001) and in the total misoprostol dose (MD = - 60.51, 95% CI: - 106.98 to - 14.04, p = 0.01), favoring the use of mifepristone plus misoprostol. The quality of evidence ranged from low to moderate. Conclusion Our study provides compelling evidence that the combination therapy of mifepristone and misoprostol results in a significant reduction in the induction delivery interval and total dosage of misoprostol required for successful labor induction compared to misoprostol administered alone. Further high-quality research is essential to confirm these results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
