Dinoprostone presents a greater efficacy for cervical ripening and delivery in ≤ 12 h, with less need of oxytocin perfusion than inductions using an intracervical double-balloon. There is no significant difference in severe maternal complications between the two groups. In conclusion, Dinoprostone could be an effective and safe option for patients at risk of uterine hyperstimulation.
