Objective: To compare the effectiveness and safety of controlled-release dinoprostone insert with Foley catheter balloon for cervical ripening and labor induction.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database were searched. Only randomized controlled trials comparing controlled-release dinoprostone insert with Foley catheter balloon were included. Risk ratio (RR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated.
Results: Six studies were included with 731 women received dinoprostone insert and 722 Foley catheter. Time from induction to delivery was significantly shortened in dinoprostone insert group compared to Foley catheter group (MD 5.73 h, 95% CI 1.26-10.20). There were no significant differences in vaginal delivery within 24 h (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.43-1.30) or cesarean section (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.80-1.12) between two ripening methods. Dinoprostone insert was related with increased rate of excessive uterine contraction (RR 0.07, 95% CI 0.03-0.19), but less oxytocin use (RR 1.86, 95% CI 1.25-2.77) when compared with Foley catheter.
Conclusions: Induction of labor with controlled-release dinoprostone insert seems to be more effective than Foley catheter. However, the former method causes excessive uterine contraction more frequently.

Pain Management During Intrauterine Device Insertion in Nulliparous Women: A Scoping Review.

This study investigates the various methods of pain management during the insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs) in nulliparous women. Currently, the only recommended method of pain management is 800 mg of ibuprofen taken one hour before insertion of the IUD. However, women continue to experience pain during the procedure.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compared two methods for inducing labor in first-time mothers: dinoprostone vaginal insert (PROPESS) and double balloon cook catheter (DBC), with a focus on delivery outcomes.
- - Results showed similar overall vaginal delivery rates, but PROPESS had a significantly higher rate of successful vaginal deliveries within 24 hours compared to DBC (55.45% vs. 38.43%).
- - While DBC had a higher occurrence of complications like chorioamnionitis and required more oxytocin for labor augmentation, neonatal outcomes were similar in both groups.

Article Synopsis
- - This study looked at factors influencing inadequate cervical ripening in pregnant women using a controlled-release dinoprostone vaginal delivery system (Propess) for labor induction.
- - Out of 103 women, 49 experienced insufficient cervical ripening, with maternal age ≥35 years and early-term delivery found to be significant predictors of this issue.
- - The findings suggest that adjusting induction protocols based on individual maternal characteristics could improve the effectiveness of Propess in managing labor.
Efficacy of controlled-release dinoprostone vaginal insert for elective induction of labor before due date.
J Obstet Gynaecol Res
December 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Keio University School of Medicine, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the effectiveness of controlled-release dinoprostone (PGE) vaginal inserts against mechanical dilation methods for inducing labor before the due date, as research shows PGE may reduce cesarean sections without increasing risks to newborns.
- The retrospective analysis involved 206 mothers at 37 to 39 weeks of gestation, evaluating perinatal outcomes and the success rates of vaginal deliveries within 48 hours of starting oxytocin augmentation.
- Results showed a higher success rate of vaginal delivery in the PGE group (80.4%) compared to the non-PGE group (66.2%), with no emergency cesarean sections in the PGE group, suggesting that PGE may be a beneficial option for elective labor

Objective: To assess adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes associated with the use of dinoprostone for induction of labor, with particular attention on categories for which caution is recommended by the Italian Medicines Agency and the European Medicine Agency.
Methods: A retrospective multicenter observational study was conducted on a population of 1687 patients undergoing induction of labor with vaginal dinoprostone (gel or insert) between August 2019 and June 2022. Patients were subdivided based on maternal age, gestational age, and obstetric disorders.
