Abstract
In vitro contractions produced by oxytocin were significantly higher than those from carbetocin in human myometrium.
- The motility index of contractions induced by oxytocin was higher than that of carbetocin in both control and oxytocin-pretreated groups.
- For control groups, the regression-estimated difference in motility index was 0.857 (95% CI, 0.290 to 1.425; P = 0.003).
- In oxytocin-pretreated groups, the motility index difference was 0.813 (95% CI, 0.328 to 1.299; P = 0.001).
- Oxytocin pretreatment significantly lowered the motility index for both oxytocin and carbetocin compared to their respective controls.
- The reduction in motility index for oxytocin was -1.040 (95% CI, -1.998 to -0.082; P = 0.03), and for carbetocin it was -0.996 (95% CI, -1.392 to -0.560; P < 0.001).
