Description
Summary:Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Bishop score and cervical length in predicting the outcome of induced labor. Material and Methods A prospective observational study was performed during a year in women undergoing labor induction. Prior to the procedure, Bishop score was evaluated by transvaginal digital examination and cervical length was measured by transvaginal ultrasound. Demographic data and labor details were recorded. Results A total of 197 women were analyzed; 166 women had a vaginal delivery (84.3%) and 31 had a cesarean section (15.7%). On univariate analysis, nulliparity, Bishop score >5 and cervical length
