Oxytocin & DinoprostoneOxytocinWomen assigned to "Concurrent oxytocin with dinoprostone vaginal insert": The 10mg dinoprostone vaginal insert were placed in the posterior fornix for cervical ripening, followed by oxytocin infusion the next day

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vaginal delivery within 24 hoursFrom the time of initiating intervention (i.e. membrane sweeping or dinoprostone) until the time of vaginal delivery, assessed up to 24 hours

Vaginal delivery within 24 hours is defined as vaginal delivery after 24 hours of initiating intervention (i.e. membrane sweeping or dinoprostone) on the first day of induction.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of cesarean deliveryEnd of labor induction (assessed up to 120 hours)
Successful labor inductionFrom the time of initiating intervention (i.e. membrane sweeping or dinoprostone) until the time of active phase of labor (defined as a cervical dilatation of >=4cm), assessed up to 24 hours

to achieve the active phase of labor corresponding to a cervical dilatation of \>=4cm

The interval from start of oxytocin to deliveryFrom the time of initiating oxytocin infusion until the time of delivery, assessed up to 120 hours
