Summary A randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Dinoprostone Slow Release Pessary (Propess) with Gel (Prostin) for induction of labour (IOL) at term. A total of 120 women requiring IOL at term with no previous uterine surgery and no contraindication to prostaglandins were included. The main outcome measures were efficacy of drug preparations, patient satisfaction and the cost-effectiveness. The secondary outcome measures noted were…

Comparative Study of Clinical Efficacy of Dinoprostone Sustain Release Vaginal Peccary & Intracervical Gel for Induction of Lab our .
TLDR
Intravaginal sustained release preparation of dinoprostone was found to be more effective than intracervical instant release preparation for IOL.
Efficiency of dinoprostone insert for cervical ripening and induction of labor in women of full-term pregnancy compared with dinoprostone gel: A meta-analysis.
TLDR
Dinoprostone insert showed a distinct superiority in terms of VD within 24 h and had an advantage of a shorter hospital stay and less postpartum hemorrhage in contrast to gel, yet the superior benefit of the vaginal insert compared to gel was still not difficult to observe.
Induction of labor and pain: a randomized trial between two vaginal preparations of dinoprostone in nulliparous women with an unfavorable cervix
TLDR
The two induction procedures should be considered equivalent as far as ripening the cervix and initiating labor, since it reduces pain thereby improving the physical and emotional wellbeing of the parturient.
A prospective pilot study of Dilapan-S compared with Propess for induction of labour at 41+ weeks in nulliparous pregnancy
TLDR
Dilapan-S is an acceptable, safe form of induction of labour in post-dates uncomplicated nulliparous pregnancy and therefore, Dilapan- S may be a suitable option for outpatient induction of labourers in low-risk post- datesnulliparas, and no cases of hyperstimulation were found.
Comparison of Dinoprostone Vaginal Tablet and Vaginal Insert in Primigravid Women for Induction of Labor
TLDR
Dinoprostone vaginal tablet and vaginal insert both have similar efficacy in induction of labor to be used in primigravid women, and no significant differences were found in the rate of cesarean section among two treatment regimens on applying Chi-square analysis.
Propess versus Prostin: There is an alternative way to induce labour
TLDR
A retrospective audit to compare the labour and mode of birth of all women who were induced in the Directorate over a specific time period found a similar vaginal birth rate in both groups and similar clinica...
Reduction in resource use with the misoprostol vaginal insert vs the dinoprostone vaginal insert for labour induction: a model-based analysis from a United Kingdom healthcare perspective
TLDR
Resource use should be considered when making decisions about labour induction methods, and the MVI is an effective method for labour induction, and could lead to a considerable reduction in resource use compared with the DVI, thereby alleviating the increasing burden of labour induction in UK hospitals.
Comparison of Two Methods in Labor Induction in Nulliparous Women with Unfavorable Cervix at Term: Oxytocin Alone Versus Dinoprostone Vaginal Slow-Release System (Propess®) + Oxytocin
TLDR
The use of dinoprostone vaginal slow-release system plus oxytocin for labor induction in nulliparous women with unfavorable cervix at term seems to be more effective than oxytoc in alone.
Efficacy of Dinoprostone Vaginal Pessary for Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labour
TLDR
Dinoprostone vaginal pessary is highly effective in the induction of labour at term in properly selected cases and does not differ much from dinopro stone gel.
Comparison of effectiveness and safety of cervical ripening methods for induction of labour: A population-based study using coarsened exact matching.
TLDR
In current practice, no cervical ripening method appears clearly superior to the others considering all effectiveness and safety outcomes.

TLDR
It is concluded that the described controlled-release PGE2 vaginal pessary induces appreciable cervical ripening and frequently initiates active labor with little or no need for oxytocin.

TLDR
This review examines the efficacy of vaginal prostaglandin E2 and F2a for third trimester cervical ripening or induction of labour in comparison with placebo/no treatment or other vaginal prostaglandins (except misoprostol).
