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.
Time frame: From 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
Successful labor induction
to achieve the active phase of labor corresponding to a cervical dilatation of \>=4cm
Time frame: From 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
Incidence of cesarean delivery
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
Time frame: End of labor induction (assessed up to 120 hours)
The interval from start of oxytocin to delivery
Time frame: From the time of initiating oxytocin infusion until the time of delivery, assessed up to 120 hours
