Dinoprostone pessaries ( DP) are widely used for cervical ripening, and while licensed for 12-h administration in Australia, 24-h use is also reported. We examined 396 consecutive women before and after a protocol change from 12-h to 24-h DP use to determine whether extended DP use decreases the need for additional mechanical cervical ripening. No significant difference in cervical ripening balloon ( CRB) requirement or vaginal birth rates was detected, showing that prolonged DP use does not reduce subsequent use of CRB.
