“…7 Kipikasa et al compared the efficacy of two different oral misoprostol doses given to patients with postdates pregnancies in an ambulatory setting. 9 Subjects were randomized to receive either misoprostol 50 or 25 mg every 3 days for a total of three doses. They found that patients given 50 mg of misoprostol delivered significantly earlier.…”

“…Not surprisingly, the overall time from first medication dose to delivery was significantly shortened in the treatment vs. placebo group. In a dosing study, Kipikasa et al 31 compared outpatient dosing regimens of 25 mcg vs. 50 mcg given every 3 days as an outpatient to a total of 49 patients. The mean interval to delivery from start of cervical ripening was 2.4 days in the 50mcg group and 3.9 days in the 25 mcg group (p o 0.05).…”

Background-As a pregnancy continues beyond term the risks of babies dying inside the womb or in the immediate newborn period increase. Whether a policy of labour induction at a predetermined gestational age can reduce this increased risk is the subject of this review. Objectives-To evaluate the benefits and harms of a policy of labour induction at term or postterm compared with awaiting spontaneous labour or later induction of labour. Search methods-We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (31 March 2012). Selection criteria-Randomised controlled trials conducted in women at or beyond term. The eligible trials were those comparing a policy of labour induction with a policy of awaiting spontaneous onset of labour. Cluster-randomised trials and cross-over trials are not included. Quasi-random allocation schemes such as alternation, case record numbers or open randomnumber lists were not eligible. Data collection and analysis-Two review authors independently assessed trials for inclusion. Two review authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. Data were
