In an open randomized clinical trial 100 pregnant women with low Bishop Scores at term were treated either with intracervical Prostaglandin (PG) E2 (0.5 mg in 2.5 ml triacetin-gel) 12 hours before labor induction with intravenous oxytocin or with oxytocin infusion alone. In 46 of the 50 pretreated patients (92%) the Bishop Score progressed at least 3 points, in four cases only 2 points. The mean Bishop score in the untreated patients increased insignificantly. After PGE2-gel administration 16 patients delivered during the 12 hour interval compared to 3 in the group without pretreatment. The first induction attempt was successful in 14 (64%) of the 22 patients that were left to be induced after cervical softening and in 26 (57%) of the 47 women without cervical priming. The Cesarean section rate was 10% (n = 5) in the PGE2-gel group and 12% (n = 6) in the control group. Dosage of oxytocin required for labor induction was significantly lower after cervical softening. No serious fetal or maternal side effects were observed after PGE2 pretreatment.
