Objective: To analyze the effectiveness and safety of controlled-release dinoprostone insert for term labor induction in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong province.

Methods: Twenty hospitals using controlled-release dinoprostone insert for term labor induction in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong province were stratified into provincial hospitals and municipal hospitals, and three hospitals of each level were selected as research units. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1390 pregnant women receiving term labor induction using controlled-release dinoprostone insert were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the the effectiveness and safety with another 957 pregnant women with induced abortion using oxytocin as the control group.

Results: Compared with the control group, the controlled-release dinoprostone insert group showed a significantly longer length of the latent phase of labor (4.06∓2.65 vs 3.20∓2.08 h, P=0.003, 95%CI [0.182, 0.920]) and shorter lengths of the active phase (1.73∓1.32 vs 2.22∓1.75 h, P=0.000, 95%CI [-0.795, -0.363]) and the second stage of labor (0.49∓0.37 vs 0.54∓0.43 h, P=0.003, 95%CI [-0.137, -0.028]). No significant differences were found in the length of the first stage of labor, the vaginal delivery rate, adverse reactions, or fetal outcomes between the two groups.

Conclusion: Controlled-release dinoprostone insert is effective and safe for labor induction at term.

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.

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

Aim: Cervical ripening is commonly performed before oxytocin administration during labor induction in pregnant women with an unfavorable cervix. In Japan, a controlled-release Dinoprostone vaginal insert (CR-DVI) was approved in 2020. Although many studies have compared the mechanical methods of ripening and prostaglandins, few have examined the impact of additional options for labor induction.

Objective: The effects of the controlled-release dinoprostone vaginal delivery system (Propess) and mechanical methods for cervical ripening in nulliparous women in late-term pregnancy were compared retrospectively.

Methods: This retrospective comparative study included 46 nulliparous pregnant women (24 in the Propess group and 22 in the mechanical methods groups) with a low Bishop score (≤1) who needed labor induction at 41 weeks of gestation. The primary outcome was the success rate of cervical ripening (= Bishop score >6 or vaginal delivery) by the next day following the insertion of Propessonly or mechanical cervical dilation only.
