Transvaginal ultrasonography-measured cervical length versus the modified Bishop score for preinduction cervical assessment at term: A randomised controlled trial
Preinduction cervical assessment using transvaginal ultrasound (cervical length < 28 mm) or the modified Bishop score is a successful predictor of the outcome of labour induction A larger multicentre studies are needed to identify optimal cervical length cutoffs and to determine if this could decrease unnecessary prostaglandin use or decrease caesarean section rate.
