- Question
Vaginal dinoprostone: What are the effectiveness, safety and maternal acceptability of:
- different regimens of vaginal dinoprostone, stratified by: clinical indications; cervical and membrane status; parity; and previous caesarean birth
- different management policies for unsuccessful induction of labour with vaginal dinoprostone (additional dinoprostone, oxytocin, elective caesarean birth or delay of induction, if appropriate).
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Why this is important?
Despite extensive studies carried out over the past 30 years to determine the most effective ways of inducing labour with vaginal dinoprostone, uncertainties remain about how best to apply these agents in terms of their dosage and timing. It would be particularly useful to understand more clearly why vaginal dinoprostone is unsuccessful in inducing labour in some women.
