Materials and Methods: Prospective observational study conducted at La Mancha Centro hospital from 1 February 2019, to 30 August 2020. Obstetric and neonatal variables of 94 pregnant women with PROM who underwent IoL with vaginal dinoprostone were analyzed, and the results were compared with 330 patients without PROM who also underwent IoL. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed using binary and multiple linear regression. Results: A total of 424 women were included in this study. A greater response to cervical ripening (Bishop score &gt; 6) with PGE2 was observed in the PROM group (odds ratio (OR) 2.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50\u20134.99, p = 0.001), as well as a shorter total duration of IoL (mean difference (MD) 2823.37 min (min), 95% CI 1257.30\u20134389.43, p &lt; 0.001). Cesarean sections were performed in 28.7% (n = 27) of patients in the PROM group vs. 34.2% (n = 113) of patients in the non-PROM group, with no significant differences (OR 0.87%, 95% CI 0.47\u20131.60, p = 0.652). There were no significant differences in changes in the cardiotocographic record (CTG), postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), uterine rupture, or adverse neonatal outcomes between the two groups. Conclusions: The use of vaginal dinoprostone in pregnant women undergoing IoL with PROM is safe for the mother and the fetus, shortens the total delivery time, and does not increase the risk of cesarean section compared with pregnant women undergoing IoL without PROM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11082217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,18]],"date-time":"2022-04-18T04:21:28Z","timestamp":1650255688000},"page":"2217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Use of Vaginal Dinoprostone (PGE2) in Patients with Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) Undergoing Induction of Labor: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4240-3572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuria","family":"L\u00f3pez-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, La Mancha Centro Hospital, 13600 Alcazar de San Juan, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fiamma","family":"Garc\u00eda-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, La Mancha Centro Hospital, 13600 Alcazar de San Juan, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael Hern\u00e1ndez","family":"Pailos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, La Mancha Centro Hospital, 13600 Alcazar de San Juan, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valentin","family":"Rodrigo-\u00c1lvaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, La Mancha Centro Hospital, 13600 Alcazar de San Juan, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Pascual-Pedre\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, La Mancha Centro Hospital, 13600 Alcazar de San Juan, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Moreno-Cid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, La Mancha Centro Hospital, 13600 Alcazar de San Juan, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9100-1134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Nursing, University of Castilla-La Mancha IDINE, Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela, 14, 13071 Ciudad Real, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9279-2698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milagros","family":"Molina-Alarc\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Nursing, University of Castilla-La Mancha IDINE, Av. de Espa\u00f1a, s\/n, 02001 Albacete, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"ACOG Practice Bulletins (2020).
