Oral misoprostol versus dinoprostone vaginal tablets for labor induction

Year 2013, Volume: 38 Issue: 3, 382 - 389, 01.09.2013

Abstract

Purpose: Induction of labour is common in obstetric practice. We conducted this study to find the appropriate and safe drug for labour induction and to compare the safety and efficacy of oral misoprostol and vaginal dinoprostone for labour induction. Material and Methods: In a provisional, prospective and cross-sectional study, one hundred and fifty five singleton cephalic presentation full term pregnancies with medical or obstetric indication for labour induction were allocated in two groups. First group received oral 50 micrograms for nulliparas and low parity group (1-4), and 25micrograms for grand multiparas (≥ 5) misoprostol orally every 6 hours to a maximum of four doses daily. In the second group vaginal tablets of dinoprostone 3mg then 1.5mg for nulliparas and 1.5mg for low parity and grand multiparas groups were inserted in the posterior fornix, every 8 hours. Primary outcome measures were: induction success, induction-delivery interval and number of used doses. Secondary outcome measures included: maternal side effects, caesarean section rate, mode of delivery and neonatal outcome. Data was collected from patient case notes and analyzed using software SPSS (version 13.0) and p-value < 0.05 was used as statistical significance of differences. Results: In our study there were no significant differences in baseline parameters in the two groups nor in the indications for labor induction except misoprostol was used in premature rupture of membrane. Induction of labor succeeded in 123 (79.35%) women without other interventions from other methods (80.26% misoprostol group versus 78.5% dinoprostone p=0.492). It was observed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in final outcomes nor in obstetrical complications. There was no significance in differences between misoprostol and dinoprostone groups in induction-delivery interval (15.2 ± 14.5 hours versus 16.4 ± 11.3 hours p=0.6 resp.). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that oral misoprostol is as effective as vaginal dinoprostone tablets for induction of labor and can be a good alternative for this purpose.

Oral misoprostol versus dinoprostone vaginal tablets for labor induction

Year 2013, Volume: 38 Issue: 3, 382 - 389, 01.09.2013

Abstract

Amaç: Doğum indüksiyonu yaygın bir obstetrik uygulamasıdır. Bu çalışma, doğum indüksiyonu için uygun ve güvenli ilacı bulmak ve doğum indüksiyonunda oral misoprostol ve vajinal dinoprostonun güvenlik ve etkinliği bakımından karşılaştırılması için yapılmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: Provizyonel, prospektif ve kesitsel olan bu çalışmada, doğum indüksiyonu için tıbbi veya obstetrik endikasyonlu baş prezentasyonu ile karaktrize 155 tekil gebe iki gruba ayrılmıştır. İlk grupa nullipar ve düşük doğum sayısı (1-4) olanlar için oral olarak 50 mikrogram, grand multiparite (≥5) için 25 mikrogram misoprostol günde en fazla 4 doz olacak şekilde her 6 saatte bir oral olarak verilmiştir. İkinci grupta dinoproston 3mg vajinal tabletleri nulliparlara 1,5mg, düşük doğum sayısı olanlara ve Grand multipariteye sahip olanlara 1,5 mg olarak her 8 saatte bir posterior fornikse yerleştirilmiştir. Birincil sonlanım ölçütleri: indüksiyon başarısı, indüksiyon-verilme sıklığı ve kullanılan dozun sayısı. İkincil sonlanım ölçütleri: maternal yan etkiler, sezeryan oranı, ilacın verilme biçimi ve neonatal sonlanım. Bilgiler hasta vaka notlarından toplanmıştır ve SPSS (version13.0) yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Farklılıkların istatistiksel anlamı için p<0.05 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda her iki çalışma grubunda; ana parametrelerde ve doğum indüksiyonunun endikasyonlarında, misoprostolün prematüre membran ruptürü için kullanıldığı durum hariç, anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır. Doğum indüksiyonu diğer müdahale metodlarının uygulanmadığı kadınların 123’ünde başarılı olmuştur (%79,3)( %80,26 misoprostol grup ve %78.5 dinoprostone p=0,492 karşılaştırıldığında). Çalışma sonucunda iki grup arasında nihayi son uç ve obstetrik komplikasyonlar bakımından farklılık bulunmamıştır. İndüksiyon verilme-doğum arasındaki sure bakımından misoprostol ve dinoproston grupları arasında anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır ( 15.2 ± 14.5 saat ve 16.4 ± 11.3 saat p=0,6 resp. karşılaştırıldığında). Sonuç: Bu çalışma doğum indüksiyonunda oral misprostolün vajinal dinoproston kadar etkili olduğunu ve bu amaç için iyi bir alternatif olabileceğini göstermektedir.
