Abnormal AP includes protracted active phase dilatation, protracted descent pattern and prolonged latent phase of labor. Comorbidity includes hypertension, diabetes and preeclampsia or eclampsia; UR, uterus rupture; Malp (malpresentation), abnormal presentation, includes breech presentation and transverse presentation; *, p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01
