“…In our study the rate of uterine rupture after prostaglandin induction of labour with or without previous Cesarean was 2.5% and 0.033%, respectively. This is similar to the data shown by other investigators [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The risk of uterine rupture is influenced by many factors including birth weight, gestational age, race, country and maternal characteristics [17,18].…”

Objective: To review the outcome of prostaglandin induction of labor in term pregnant women with previous one ce-sarean section compared to those without previous Cesarean section. Design: 18 years retrospective review of hospital records and case note review of index cases. Setting: University hospital. Population: Three hundred and twenty two women who had their labor induced with prostaglandin E2. One hundred and sixty one women had one previous Ce-sarean section. Methods: This study was conducted at King Fahad University Hospital, University of Dammam. It is a tertiary referral center with approximately 2300 births per year. We searched the hospital's records of deliveries from January 1992 to December 2009 and reviewed all indications and outcomes of prostaglandin induction of labor in women with one previous Cesarean section. The control group was composed of women who had their labor induced with prostaglandin but without previous Cesarean section. Main outcome measures: Labor outcome and uterine rup-ture Results: Three hundred and twenty two women were included. All received prostaglandin E2 for induction of labor. One hundred and sixty one women had one previous Cesarean section (study group) and the rest had no previous Ce-sarean section (control group). There was no difference in the rate of vaginal delivery between study and control group, 68.3% and 79.5% (p value 0.3), respectively. The rate of uterine rupture was 30 times higher in study group (2.5% Vs 0.033%). Conclusion: In women with one previous Cesarean section, induction of labor with prostaglandin leads to comparable rate of vaginal delivery similar to those without prior Cesarean section but with relatively high risk of uter-ine rupture

“…In our study the overall vaginal birth after prostaglandin induction of labor in women with one previous CS was 68.3% which compared favourably with the reported rate of 74% VBAC rate in women who went into spontaneous labour [11].…”

“…Our results show a lower uterine rupture rate compared with studies using prostaglandins for induction of labour. Some authors have described uterine rupture rates with dinoprostone induction between 0 and 5.9% [6, 18]. Our results revealed a rate of uterine rupture similar to other studies about mechanical methods in cervical ripening [19, 20].…”

IntroductionWe analysed the efficacy and safety of double-balloon catheter for cervical ripening in women with a previous cesarean section and which were the most important variables associated with an increased risk of repeated cesarean delivery.Materials and methodsWe designed an observational retrospective study of 418 women with unfavourable cervices (Bishop Score <5), a prior cesarean delivery, and induction of labour with a double-balloon catheter. Baseline maternal data and perinatal outcomes were recorded for a descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsMost women improved their initial Bishop Score (89.5%) although only a 20.8% of them went into spontaneous active labour. Finally, 51.4% of the women achieved a vaginal delivery. Five cases of intrapartum uterine rupture (1.2%) occurred. After multivariate analysis, main risk factors for repeated cesarean section were dystocia in the previous pregnancy (OR 1.744; CI 95% 1.066–2.846), the absence of previous vaginal delivery (OR 2.590; CI 95% 1.066–6.290), suspected fetal macrosomia (OR 2.410; CI 95% 0.959–6.054), and duration of oxytocin induction period (OR 1.005; CI 95% 1.004–1.006). The area under the curve was 0.789 (p < 0.001).ConclusionsDouble-balloon catheter seems to be safe and effective for cervical ripening in women with a previous cesarean delivery and unfavourable cervix. In our study, most women could have a vaginal delivery in spite of their risk factors for cesarean delivery. A multivariate model based on some clinical variables has moderate predictive value for intrapartum cesarean section.

“…Moreover, we could not include in our review any studies using mechanical IOL (Foley or double balloon catheter). In addition, sequential administration of oxytocin or amniotomy performed to augment labor might increase the risk of complications in the IOL group [16,17]. Therefore, duration of labor might play a role in the efficacy of IOL, because a long labor may require more augmentation than a short labor, which in turn might increase the risk of complications.…”
