Our aim was to evaluate the mode of delivery in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders and unfavorable cervix following induction of labor with vaginal application of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) near or at term, and to define the predictors of successful vaginal delivery in such women. Methods. In a retrospective case-controlled study, pregnant women with hypertension, who underwent labor induction with PGE 2 tablets (study group, n = 284), were compared with women, who underwent elective induction of labor (group 2, n = 115), and women with normal spontaneous onset of labor (group 3, n = 510). Results. The rate of cesarean section (CS) was significantly higher in the study group (25.3%) than in group 2 (14.8%) and in group 3 (9%). Exclusion of the nulliparous women from the study and control groups yielded similar CS rates in the study group (16.9%) and in group 2 (11.1%). Women with pre-eclampsia and the women with chronic hypertension or pregnancy-induced hypertension had similar rates o... |
