Abstract:

Objectives To compare the maternal, fetal and cardiac outcomes in women who have undergone aortic valve replacement. Method Retrospective observational study of all women with aortic valve replacement, who underwent a pregnancy (1998–2012). Maternal-, fetal- and valve-related cardiac outcomes were assessed. Results Thirty-two pregnancies in 16 women with aortic valve replacement (nine bioprosthetic, six Ross and 17 mechanical) were evaluated. There were no adverse maternal events in the bioprosthetic and Ross groups but three in the mechanical group. Fetal loss rate was highest in the mechanical valve pregnancies (53%). One woman in the bioprosthetic group needed valve re-operation, and one woman in the mechanical valve group died. There was no difference in the change of Vmax over the follow-up between the valves ( p = 0.25). Conclusions There was no difference in deterioration between aortic valve replacements during and after pregnancy. The highest risk of maternal and fetal complications occurred in the mechanical valve group.

Abstract:

Mechanical valve thrombosis is a life-threatening event, while pregnancy is associated with a hypercoagulable state. Thus, in pregnant women with mechanical valves, adequate anticoagulation becomes even more critical. This prospective study was conducted to establish a uniform anticoagulation regimen for these women. A total of 250 pregnancies in 245 women with mechanical heart valves were evaluated. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 ( n = 150) took oral warfarin throughout pregnancy and group 2 ( n = 100) received subcutaneous heparin in the 1st trimester and oral warfarin for the other trimesters. Both groups received heparin at the time of delivery. There were no coumarin-induced fetal malformations. Minor thromboembolic episodes took place in 5 women in group 1 and 3 in group 2. Valve thrombosis occurred in 1 woman in group 2 and led to 1 maternal death in this series. The incidence of spontaneous abortion was similar between the groups. We conclude that warfarin is safe and convenient to use during pregnancy. The teratogenic effects of warfarin during the 1st trimester are overstated, and switching to heparin is not mandatory.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Schizoaffective disorder is described as a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder components. It is estimated that in 2009 in Poland over 30 thousands women were treated in outpatient care because of schizotypical disorders, also in 2009, over 5,5 thousands Polish women, were hospitalised because of the same reason. Material and method: We searched through whole medical documentation of the patient, which were available at the Department of Psychiatry and Gynaecology. We mainly focused on the last hospitalization of the woman. We found research connected to our subject on Science Direct website. Discussion: A 34-year-old woman was admitted to Department of Psychiatry, patient was 14 weeks pregnant. Family described her behaviour as verbally and physically aggressive and dysphoric which forced her parents to take woman to the hospital. It was her third hospitalization. Pharmacotherapy was insufficient to improve the mental state of the woman. Doctors decided to carry out a series of electroconvulsive treatments (10 procedures). When woman was 36 weeks pregnant, there was a leak of green amniotic fluid and it was necessary to perform a caesarean section. A newborn required mechanical ventilation, had decreased muscle tone and facial dysmorphic features, also defect of the atrial septum was found. Conclusions: Pregnant women with psychiatric disorders should be all considered high risk. It means that they need multidisciplinary care – psychiatrist, gynaecologist, neonatologist or other specialists, in order to stay in a good condition mentally and physically during pregnancy.

Abstract:

Two years after a Hartmann’s procedure, an 85-year-old woman was admitted at our emergency department with abdominal bloating and severe constipation for 5 days. Abdominal CT showed a large rectal stump mucocele associated with compression of surrounding structures, causing a mechanical ileus and a bilateral pyelocaliceal dilatation. Successful transanal drainage with a rectal catheter allowed rapid recovery.

The purpose of this study was to conduct extensive research on domestic violence against women in Pakistan and to present the results in a comprehensive document. Some of the issues investigated through fieldwork and covered here include the social and cultural reasons for violence against women, the ways in which the women are victimised, the extent of this violence and its implications for the victims and society at large. Emphasis was placed on the review of shortcoming of laws for protection of women. At the end, detailed recommendations were made for practical steps in which women can be given more legal protection, and society can be sensitised to the rights of women. It was found that some of the major reasons for violence against women include treatment of women as objects and property, legitimisation of cruel practices through tradition and misinterpretation of religion, and patriarchal nature of society that enables men to reinforce their social power through subjugation of women. While around 80% of Pakistani women are reported to face some form of domestic violence every year, horrific crimes such as honour killings, acid burnings and marital rape are also quite common. There are several absurd practices such as exchanging of women to settle tribal disputes and selling them to payoff debt, which depict the treatment of women as commodities. The violence against women goes unchecked because of an unjust legal system that leads to unfair settlements and custodial violence against women. The brutalisation and torture of women has several negative impacts that start with the continuous fear and feelings of worthlessness among the victims. Large-scale mistreatment of women forces economic backwardness on them and creates widespread gender-disparity
(cont.) in the country. There are several possible measures that should be taken to stop the self-perpetuating and vicious cycle of violence against women. These include gender-training programs for law-enforcement and judicial personnel, the addition of materials that teach the importance of equal rights of women in school and college curricula, and a large-scale collaboration between the government and the private sector to create support and shelter facilities for women in distress. Other steps such as constitutional amendments to abolish biased laws and to incorporate gender-neutrality in civil jurisdiction are very important as well. Though the overall picture is quite bleak for women in Pakistan, there are some rays of hope through isolated cases in which society has supported victimised women and the legal system has dispensed justice. Overall, this report is a manifesto for improving the plight of millions of battered women in Pakistan who deserve social justice.

Plugged lactiferous ducts are a common problem that many nursing women encounter. This occurs when the tissue around a milk duct has become inflamed, thus preventing milk from passing through the duct. Women treat and prevent plugged ducts by massaging the affected area on the breast. There are no products currently on the market that use massage techniques to help mothers with plugged ducts. This study proposes a design of a device to treat plugged lactiferous ducts. The problem is explored and formulated into a problem statement. Design requirements of the device are derived from the problem statement and are listed and explained. The concept generation, concept selection, concept refinement, and prototyping phases are described. Finally, recommendations for future development are discussed.

Abstract:

Around 20% women of reproductive age are found to have polycystic ovaries (PCO) during ultrasound examinations and approximately 10% have symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is associated with multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this thesis was to investigate arterial mechanical properties and responsiveness to vasoactive stimuli in young women with PCOS, PCO and controls, using non-invasive ultrasound techniques. The influence of PCOS-related endocrine and metabolic perturbations on aortic function was investigated in a mifepristone-treated rat model of PCOS. The carotid artery pulsatility index was decreased in PCO and PCOS women and there was a paradoxical vasoconstrictor response to a dilator stimulus in these women relative to controls. Vascular compliance was decreased in the internal carotid artery in PCO and PCOS women PCOS women also exhibited increased intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid and common femoral arteries compared with controls. In the cutaneous microcirculation, the response to the vasodilator acetylcholine (ACh) was depressed in PCOS women, whilst the response to sodium nitroprusside (SNP nitric oxide donor - NO) was unaffected. Mifepristone-treated rats exhibited increased serum luteinising hormone, testosterone, and polycystic ovaries. Ultrasound analysis indicated that aortic diameter and blood flow in vivo were unaffected in treated rats, but aortic compliance was reduced. In-vitro assessment of endothelial and vascular smooth muscle function of rat aorta demonstrated decreased relaxation with ACh, which was not abolished by L-NAME, however, the effect of SNP was greater, a finding which raises the possibility of an alternative dilator mechanism that may be independent of NO system. Since increased IMT, endothelial dysfunction and abnormal reactivity are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, these results also provide evidence of preclinical atherosclerotic surrogate markers in women with PCOS and PCO. These findings increase the likelihood of an association between PCOS (and probably PCO) and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:

Many young adult male athletes with a high maximal O₂ consumption (VO₂Max) show exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH). In women, EIAH may occur at submaximal exercise intensities and at lower fitness levels, but this is controversial. Greater EIAH in women may be attributed to their increased mechanical constraints to ventilation owing to smaller airway diameters. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to characterize EIAH, gas exchange and respiratory mechanics during exercise in young healthy women. Subjects (n=31, VO₂Max =48±1, range 28-62 mL/kg/min) completed a step-wise maximal test on a treadmill. A 3-stage constant load exercise test was also completed where the inspired gas was switched between room air and heliox (21% O₂: 79% He). Arterial blood gases (PaO₂, PaCO₂, pH), corrected for esophageal temperature, and oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO₂) were measured at rest and during the last 30 s of each exercise stage. The work of breathing (WOB) was obtained using an esophageal balloon-tipped catheter. Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) was determined by superimposing tidal flow-volume loops on the maximum expiratory flow-volume curve. Twenty of the 31 women developed some degree of EIAH with a nadir PaO₂ and SaO₂ ranging from 58-103 mmHg and 87-98%; respectively. Subjects with EIAH were fitter (VO₂Max 51±1 vs. 42±2 mL/kg/min), had a greater VEMax (91±3 vs. 77±4 L/min) and had an increased resistive WOB (30±2 vs. 19±1 cmH₂O/breath); for the EIAH and non-EIAH groups respectively (P<0.05). Six untrained subjects (VO₂Max <50 mL/kg/min) developed EIAH and 18/20 of the EIAH group were hypoxemia at submaximal intensities. Six distinct patterns of hypoxemia were observed indicating multiple mechanisms are responsible for EIAH in women. Fourteen subjects developed EFL and 12/14 who showed flow limitation also displayed EIAH. Inspiring heliox gas decreased the WOB by ~32% and partially reversed any EIAH. In conclusion, the pulmonary system response to progressive treadmill exercise in healthy young women is variable and distinct patterns of EIAH exist. EIAH appears to start at submaximal intensities and untrained women can develop hypoxemia. Mechanical ventilatory constraints can lead to or exacerbate EIAH in women, while inspiring heliox gas can partially reverse EIAH.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis was to determine the underlying mechanisms associated with a higher total WOB in women (Study 1) and to determine if women experience greater levels of diaphragmatic fatigue relative to men (Study 2). Methods: Study 1: Sixteen endurance-trained subjects (8M:8F) underwent a progressive cycling test to exhaustion while esophageal pressure and lung volumes were measured. Modified Campbell diagrams were used to calculate the inspiratory and expiratory resistive and elastic components at 50, 75, 100 l·min⁻¹ and maximal ventilations and also at standardized mass-corrected work-rates. Study 2: Thirty-eight endurance-trained subjects (19M:19F) underwent a constant-load cycling test at 90% of peak work-rate until exhaustion. Pressure-time product of the diaphragm (PTPdi) was calculated during exercise. Trans-diaphragmatic pressure twitches (Pdi,tw) were assessed using cervical magnetic stimulation before and 10, 30 and 60 minutes after exercise. Diaphragm fatigue was defined as a ≥ 15% reduction in Pdi,tw post-exercise. Results: Study 1: The inspiratory resistive WOB was higher in women at all absolute ventilations (P<0.05). The expiratory resistive WOB was higher in women at 75 l·min⁻¹ (P<0.05). There were no sex-differences in the elastic WOB. However, the total WOB was significantly higher in men at relative percentages of maximal ventilation (P<0.05) but this sex-difference was reversed when the WOB was standardized for a given work-rate to body mass ratio. Study 2: Diaphragm fatigue was present in 11 males and 8 females. The reduction in Pdi,tw at 10 and 30 min following exercise was significantly greater in men relative to women (P<0.05). Men consistently had higher absolute values for PTPdi during exercise but this sex-difference was reversed when body mass was taken into account. Over time, men continued to have a reduced contribution of the diaphragm to total inspiratory force output whereas diaphragmatic contribution in women remained relatively constant over time. Conclusions: The higher total WOB in women is due to an increased resistive WOB which is likely attributable to their smaller airways. Despite a respiratory system that may have a higher mechanical cost of breathing, women appear to be more resistant to exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 29-30).
The issue of the lack of women in the fields of science and engineering has recently received new attention by the scientific and women's studies communities alike. In fields such as Mechanical Engineering there continues to be a marked lack of women, especially when looking at higher levels of academia. One solution that has been suggested is to provide young women with a pre-collegiate introduction to engineering and also to give them opportunities to be in contact with women in the field. The Women's Technology Program (WTP), a summer program for girls who have just finished their junior year of high school, was originally created to help solve this problem in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at MIT. Due to its apparent success in the four years of its existence, it was felt that the development of such a program in the Mechanical Engineering department at MIT might be a worthwhile effort. The WTP in ME will contain an overview of many of the topics of mechanical engineering, with an emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving, two skills that are invaluable to engineers and are rarely taught below the university level.

Abstract:

Objective: To document maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality in anticoagulated, pregnant patients with mechanical heart valves until 42 days postpartum. Methods: In a tertiary single-centre, prospective cohort, 178 consecutive patients at the cardiac-obstetric clinic were screened for warfarin use between 1 July 2010 and 31 December 2015. Of 33 pregnancies identified, 29 were included. Patients received intravenous unfractionated heparin from six to 12 weeks’ gestation and peripartum, and warfarin from 12 to 36 weeks. Maternal outcomes including death, major haemorrhage and thrombosis, and foetal outcomes were documented. Results: There were two maternal deaths, five returns to theatre post-delivery, eight patients transfused, six major haemorrhages, one case of infective endocarditis and three ischaemic strokes. Ten pregnancies had poor foetal outcomes (six miscarriages, three terminations, one early neonatal death). Twenty patients required more than 30 days’ hospitalisation, and 15 required three or more admissions. HIV positivity was associated with surgical delivery (p = 0.0017). Conclusions: Complication rates were high despite centralized care.

Abstract:

Disguise and Masquerade in Chapter Five features body forms and constructions during the interwar years in Weimar, Paris, Moscow and Brussels. Instances of the human body as scenographic material increase in number and intensity as modern dance and theatre diminish the differences between and actor and the object. Experimentation at the Bauhaus, particularly by Oskar Schlemmer, is detailed in ‘Ballerina Objects and Mechanical Pierrots’. Further adaptations of figures from the commedia dell’arte push the concept of ‘kinetic painting’ and choreographic text to new levels (as with dancer-artist Akarova). Advances in self-portrait photography as identity study, particularly by women artists like Arndt, Cahun and Krull, engage masking in new interpretations of the être-objet (Dalí). Additional modernist photographs of Dora Maar, Man Ray and others are analysed. Elements of Dada, Expressionism and Futurism appear in this collection of masquerades. Magritte’s provocative images of woman and man with fabric-covered bodies and faces tilts modernist disguising to the heart of Surrealism.

Abstract:

Valvular heart disease is a frequent underlying heart disease in pregnant women. Mitral stenosis is often rheumatic in origin, while aortic stenosis is more often congenital. Stenotic lesions carry a high risk of complications. Mitral stenosis with a valve area less than 1.5 cm² should be considered for pre-pregnancy intervention, especially when balloon valvulotomy is an option, since the risk of maternal and fetal complications is high. For women with aortic stenosis, pre-pregnancy intervention should be considered when the woman is symptomatic, or when left ventricular function or exercise testing is abnormal. Regurgitant lesions carry a lower risk than stenotic lesions. Women with a mechanical prosthesis have a high risk of complications during pregnancy and should be managed in a centre of expertise. Vitamin K antagonists are associated with embryopathy, but only in the first trimester and mainly when higher dosages are needed. Vitamin K antagonists are superior to prevent valve thrombosis. Vitamin K antagonists are advised in the first trimester when the daily dose requirement is low, and are preferred in the second and third trimester. During the first trimester, alternative options are unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparins with intensive monitoring of anticoagulation effect. Heparins are also used from the 36th week of pregnancy until delivery. Most women with valvular disease can deliver vaginally.

Abstract:

Heidegger’s distinction between man and animal, in common with other philosopher’s accounts, also has sexual difference at stake. This chapter takes up his opposition between human creativity and mechanical (animal) technology. Other writers present technology as integral to hominization. In either case, the work of women (as well as other inferiors) can end up on the mechanical animal side – and thus women’s weaving (like spiders’ webs), for example, would be neither creative nor a true technological invention. The chapter analyses some myths of weaving and metamorphosis (such as those of Arachne or Philomela); and then turns to contemporary women writing back. Duffy’s poetry mocks those, like Aesop, who lay down the law about animals and humans; Darrieussecq and Ndiaye’s novels rewrite metamorphosis into a pig, wolf, or dogs.

Abstract:

After the introduction of Title IX, a federal law prohibiting discrimination based on gender, the number of women involved in high school and collegiate level sports has significantly increased. Increasing the number of female athletes has a direct correlation with the amount of injuries experienced by these women. One of the most common injuries to female athletes is a sprain or a tear in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) located in the knee. The ACL is one of the main components in the stabilization of the knee. A strain or tear to the ACL causes everyday life to be impacted significantly. ACL injuries are not only debilitating, but are expensive and have long term effects including arthritis. Women have an increased chance of injuring their ACL for three main reasons: anatomical, hormonal, and biomedical. Statistically, women have wider hips and weaker inner thigh muscles than men. Additionally, women experience changes in hormonal imbalance which contributes to their cyclic changes in ligament strength. Lastly, knees can experience a bio-medical condition known as valgus. The presence of extreme valgus typically indicates a high risk of future ACL injury due to the increased stress on the ligament. Due to these factors, this study involved designing three prophylactic braces to be used as part of a training program to help strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee.

Abstract:

The notion of slipperiness is rarely associated with a concrete walkway. The aggressive nature of this surface invariably satisfies the classical criterion of a safe floor. The case study described in this paper challenges this preconception. It involves a woman who enters an indoor stairwell of a parking lot and slips on the dry concrete landing while approaching the stairs with her arm outstretched to grasp the railing. The current state-of-the-art of human slipping provides this victim with no remedy at law. This paper presents a forensic and safety study that focuses on slip and fall. Slip is usually analyzed by a classical system that has no redeeming features. This protocol provides a go/no-go criterion that proclaims a walking surface safe if its interaction with a surrogate material (e.g. leather) produces an average coefficient of friction greater than 0.5. It turns out that many walkers slip on such mythical “safe” floors. The subject case adopts a modern theory of human slipping that quantitatively predicts the number of walkers who will slip on a given surface including concrete landings.

Abstract:

Abstract Heart Rate (HR) and Breath Rate (BR) are important parameters that define the physiological state of the athlete and evaluate his training the performances during a race or a match. In particular for runners, these are two indexes that can be easily monitored during the performance for the athlete to understand their physical state as well as for the trainer or the coach to improve the athlete deep knowledge and better design the subject specific training. The HR can be typically acquired by lots of different technologies. In this paper, a simple and fast fitting new device for ECG and BR acquisition is presented. This device is a first optimized prototype that use a reduced number of electrodes on the torso to acquire both the ECG waveform and a BR signal. In order to evaluate the reliability and precision of this device we have defined an experimental campaign. Two IUTA athletes (a man and a woman) have been selected to wear the device during a Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Test (CPET). The BR track and ECG waveform acquired by the CPET are compared to the ones acquired with the new device to confirm the reliability and precision of the system.

Abstract:

The woman is the backbone of the agricultural workforce but worldwide, her hard work has mostly been unpaid. The objective of the study was to find the common occupational health hazards in women agricultural workers and their effects and to find out the protective measures used by agricultural workers for the prevention of occupational health hazards. The present study was based on 110 samples of three villages of Bhatli Block in Bargarh District in the period of 2018-2019. The results revealed that physical hazards such as body pain (86.36%) and fatigues (83.63%) were most common in all agricultural activities. The majority of respondents (77.24%) had mechanical hazards, i.e. injury occur due to farm tools and machinery. Chemical hazards like skin problems affected 39.09% of workers, and environmental hazards such as air-borne allergies (32.72%), poisonous organism bites (21.81%) were found common among the respondents, and no association was found between their socio-economic levels in the relevance of occupational health hazard. The agricultural workers were usually careless towards the prevention of occupational hazards.

Abstract:

In this paper, we take a close look at the participation of women in Mechanical Engineering, through an analysis of scientific publications in the field. Using a large dataset of over 100,000 publications from the ASME digital library, the paper creates a picture of the gender preferences associated with areas in the field of Mechanical Engineering. We find that while the average percentage of women in the field is generally low (15.6%), there are significant differences between the percentages of women in different categories, with areas such as biomechanical engineering, energy management, renewable energy, and nanotechnology attracting a larger than average proportion of women. Additionally, we also analyze the change in the number of authors in different areas over 20 years of research in the field, and observe a significant growth in recent years for both genders in the areas of biomechanical engineering, nanotechnology, and computational engineering.

Abstract:

In the field of urogynecology, synthetic polypropylene (PP) meshes have seen an increase in use over the last decade. These devices are implanted in over 200,000 women annually and are designed to restore pelvic organ support for women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse (1). Because they are essentially modified abdominal hernia meshes, their use in the field urogynecology has undergone little oversight. With more patients experiencing morbidity, the FDA has released two Public Health Notifications in 2009 and 2011 informing the public about the potential complications associated with urogynecological mesh implantation.

Abstract:

Abstract Female athletes are more likely to incur a knee injury compared to men when competing in the same sport. The increased risk is due to anatomical, biomechanical and hormonal differences between males and females. Women anatomically, have wider hips and this creates a greater quadriceps angle, which is the angle measured between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), and a line that passes through the tibia trubercle and the middle of the patella (kneecap). Consequently, when landing after a jump, or making sudden movement, women tend to turn their feet inwards to compensate for a greater bending moment and this can result in knee injuries. This work involved using a prophylactic brace to retrain the muscle memory of the leg and thereby promote correct landing technique. The brace geometry was based on data collected from 20 previous women athletes and was 3D printed using ABS to allow some basic customization. However, even though the results were somewhat promising, they were statistically inconclusive due to unforeseen braced design issues. Consequently, a new brace will be redesigned using the feedback from the participants and a new study will be undertaken.

Full text

Abstract:

Objectives. To assess the comparative effectiveness and potential harms of cervical ripening in the outpatient setting (vs. inpatient, vs. other outpatient intervention) and of fetal surveillance when a prostaglandin is used for cervical ripening. Data sources. Electronic databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, Embase®, CINAHL®, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to July 2020; reference lists; and a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies of cervical ripening comparing prostaglandins and mechanical methods in outpatient versus inpatient settings; one outpatient method versus another (including placebo or expectant management); and different methods/protocols for fetal surveillance in cervical ripening using prostaglandins. When data from similar study designs, populations, and outcomes were available, random effects using profile likelihood meta-analyses were conducted. Inconsistency (using I2) and small sample size bias (publication bias, if ≥10 studies) were assessed. Strength of evidence (SOE) was assessed. All review methods followed Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center methods guidance. Results. We included 30 RCTs and 10 cohort studies (73% fair quality) involving 9,618 women. The evidence is most applicable to women aged 25 to 30 years with singleton, vertex presentation and low-risk pregnancies. No studies on fetal surveillance were found. The frequency of cesarean delivery (2 RCTs, 4 cohort studies) or suspected neonatal sepsis (2 RCTs) was not significantly different using outpatient versus inpatient dinoprostone for cervical ripening (SOE: low). In comparisons of outpatient versus inpatient single-balloon catheters (3 RCTs, 2 cohort studies), differences between groups on cesarean delivery, birth trauma (e.g., cephalohematoma), and uterine infection were small and not statistically significant (SOE: low), and while shoulder dystocia occurred less frequently in the outpatient group (1 RCT; 3% vs. 11%), the difference was not statistically significant (SOE: low). In comparing outpatient catheters and inpatient dinoprostone (1 double-balloon and 1 single-balloon RCT), the difference between groups for both cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage was small and not statistically significant (SOE: low). Evidence on other outcomes in these comparisons and for misoprostol, double-balloon catheters, and hygroscopic dilators was insufficient to draw conclusions. In head to head comparisons in the outpatient setting, the frequency of cesarean delivery was not significantly different between 2.5 mg and 5 mg dinoprostone gel, or latex and silicone single-balloon catheters (1 RCT each, SOE: low). Differences between prostaglandins and placebo for cervical ripening were small and not significantly different for cesarean delivery (12 RCTs), shoulder dystocia (3 RCTs), or uterine infection (7 RCTs) (SOE: low). These findings did not change according to the specific prostaglandin, route of administration, study quality, or gestational age. Small, nonsignificant differences in the frequency of cesarean delivery (6 RCTs) and uterine infection (3 RCTs) were also found between dinoprostone and either membrane sweeping or expectant management (SOE: low). These findings did not change according to the specific prostaglandin or study quality. Evidence on other comparisons (e.g., single-balloon catheter vs. dinoprostone) or other outcomes was insufficient. For all comparisons, there was insufficient evidence on other important outcomes such as perinatal mortality and time from admission to vaginal birth. Limitations of the evidence include the quantity, quality, and sample sizes of trials for specific interventions, particularly rare harm outcomes. Conclusions. In women with low-risk pregnancies, the risk of cesarean delivery and fetal, neonatal, or maternal harms using either dinoprostone or single-balloon catheters was not significantly different for cervical ripening in the outpatient versus inpatient setting, and similar when compared with placebo, expectant management, or membrane sweeping in the outpatient setting. This evidence is low strength, and future studies are needed to confirm these findings.
