For an induction, the higher your Bishop score the better. If your cervix is "unripe" (not yet ready for Pitocin), then the chances of a vaginal delivery are lower and cervical ripening is ...

The clinical outcomes against which cervical resistivity and Bishop scores were correlated included the following: time to onset of established labour (cervix > 3 cm dilated and at least two ...

The best accuracy for predicting labour latent greater than 12 hours was achieved by the Bishop score at an optimal cut-off value of ≤ 5 (Table 4). Cervical resistivity, between 9.8 and 78.1 kHz ...
