Induction of Labour With Prostaglandin Gel in Grand Multipara with a Previous Caesarean Delivery.

Objective: This study sought to evaluate the safety of induction of labour with prostaglandin E (PGE) gel in grand multiparous (GMP) women and to compare the labour outcome of GMP women who have undergone one previous Caesarean section (CS) with that of GMP women who never had a previous CS.

Methods: This prospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2) evaluated induction of labour with 1 mg of PGE gel in 96 GMP women with one previous CS (study group) and in 104 GMP women without previous CS (control group).
