  Purpose

A. Null Hypothesis:

In term pregnancies complicated by diabetes, there is no difference in the time interval from start of induction to delivery when outpatient cervical ripening and labor induction is initiated with orally administered misoprostol, a prostaglandin El analogue, compared to placebo.

B. Specific aims:

  1. Demonstrate that oral misoprostol is effective for cervical ripening compared to placebo when given in an outpatient basis to women with pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus.
  2. Demonstrate that oral misoprostol can be administered safely in an outpatient setting. The patients will be observed for a period of four hours in an outpatient antepartum testing unit after the medication is administered to demonstrate fetal well being and verify that there is no evidence of uterine hyperstimulation. (We acknowledge that markers of serious adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes are rare, and can only be adequately addressed in large multicenter trials.)
  3. Assess the cost differential in inpatient and outpatient utilization of misoprostol for cervical ripening and labor induction. In order to estimate the impact that outpatient cervical ripening may have on total hospitalization costs, we will use daily hospital charges and published data regarding pharmaceutical costs.
