Oxytocin & DinoprostoneDinoprostoneFor women 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.concurrent membrane sweeping with dinoprostone or only 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.concurrent membrane sweeping with dinoprostone or only dinoprostone) on the first day of induction.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of cesarean deliveryEnd of labor induction (assessed up to 120 hours)

From the time of initiating intervention (i.e.concurrent membrane sweeping with dinoprostone or only dinoprostone) until the time of cesarean delivery, assessed up to 120 hours

Successful labor inductionFrom the time of initiating intervention (i.e.concurrent membrane sweeping with dinoprostone or only 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
