Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Successful labor inductionTwelve hours of initiating oxytocin on the first day of induction

Successful labor induction is defined as an ability to achieve the active phase of labor corresponding to a cervical dilatation of \>=4cm.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cervical change in the bishop scores and cervical lengths induced by transcervical foley catheter and dinoprostone vaginal insertionWhen transcervical foley catheter or dinoprostone was removed before adminitoring oxytocin

1. Cervical change based on the bishop score and cervical length induced by cervical ripening methods(foley catheter balloon vs dinoprostone)

2. Incidence of cesarean delivery

3. Vaginal delivery with 24 hours of starting of induction

4. The interval from start of oxytocin to delivery

5. Incidence of admission to neonatal intensive care unit and uterine tachysystole
