TI  - Is induction of labor with continuous release dinoprostone vaginal pessary a 
      viable option in patients with preeclampsia?
PG  - 183
AB  - Objective: To evaluate the role of dinoprostone vaginal pessary (DVP) for 
      induction of labor in preeclampsia.Methods: This is a prospective review of 94 
      patients with preeclampsia, who delivered from July 1995 to December 1996 at a 
      university center. Of these, 25 received DVP, 22 oxytocin, 11 intracervical 
      prostaglandin E(2), and 36 received no pharmacologic agents. Patients receiving 
      DVP and oxytocin induction were compared for outcome of pregnancy and cesarean 
      section rate. Statistical analysis was carried out by Student t test, chi(2) test 
      with Yates correction.Results: The two groups were comparable with respect to 
      parity and 5-minute Apgar scores.Three patients in the DVP group developed 
      complications-one episode of seizure, one atonic postpartum hemorrhage, and one 
      cervical laceration. One patient in the oxytocin group developed HELLP 
      syndrome.Conclusion: DVP is at least as effective as oxytocin in achieving 
      vaginal delivery in preeclampsia, despite lower Bishop scores. Future larger 
      studies are needed to better assess DVP in patients with preeclampsia.
