Abstract

Background: When the benefits to the mother or the foetus outweigh the risks of continuing the pregnancy, such as post-dated pregnancy, preeclampsia, or foetal growth restriction, induction of labour is indicated. Induction of labour is performed in approximately 20% of all pregnancies, and successful induction has been linked to cervical characteristics, or 'ripeness.' However, the Bishop score's assessment of the cervix's "favorability" prior to initiation is very subjective, and numerous investigations have indicated that it has a poor prognostic value, particularly for women with low Bishop Scores. The aim of this study: was to assess the accuracy of transvaginal and other ultrasonographic measures in predicting the outcomes of labor induction. Patients and Methods: In our research, 100 pregnancies between 37 and 42 weeks had labor induction. A digital check of the cervix was done before to induction, and the Bishop score was recorded. Transvaginal ultrasonography was used to measure cervical length. Results & conclusion: a statistically substantial negative link between Bishop Score and failure of induction and chance of C.S. and a statistical substantial positive connection between cervical length as evaluated by ultrasonography and those two outcomes.
