The Success of Labor Induction Based on a Modified BISHOP Score.

Pregnant women at term will be divided randomly into 3 groups:

1. Gynecological evaluation based on classic BISHOP score. 2. Gynecological evaluation based on a modified BISHOP score. 3. Gynecological evaluation based on cervical length as measured by transvaginal sonography.

After gynecological evaluation, women will undergo induction of labor based on obstetric evaluation according to the group they were part of.

About this study

Women presenting to the obstetric emergency room for follow-up for various obstetric/other medical conditions over 37 weeks' gestation that are candidates for labor induction will receive an explanation regarding the study and sign informed consent.

The women will be divided randomly into 3 groups:

  • Gynecological evaluation based on classic BISHOP score.
  • Gynecological evaluation based on a modified BISHOP score.
  • Gynecological evaluation based on cervical length as measured by transvaginal sonography.

After gynecological evaluation, women will undergo induction of labor based on obstetric evaluation according to the group they were part of.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Singleton pregnancies.
  • Candidates for vaginal delivery.

Exclusion criteria

  • Multiple pregnancies.
  • Candidates for cesarean section.

Treatment and study plan

Vaginal examination.

Diagnostic Test

Cervical properties as evaluated by a vaginal examination.

Transvaginal sonography.

Diagnostic Test

Cervical length as evaluated by a transvaginal sonography.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to delivery

    Time frame: Up to 72 hours.

    The time from induction commencement to delivery of the newborn.

Secondary outcomes

  1. BISHOP score after primary induction.

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours.

    BISHOP score after primary induction. BISHOP is not an abbreviation and is just the name of the score. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 13. The higher the score, the more favorable the cervix is considered before induction of labor.
