Ultrasound assessment of fetal head-perineum distance and cervical length to predict the success of labour induction

Introduction and aims of the study: Induction of labour (IOL) is one of the most frequent obstetric procedures. Successful IOL results in a vaginal delivery, either spontaneous or operative. The Bishop score remains a gold standard for assessing suitability for IOL and ultrasound measurements may be added to the list. The study aims to evaluate ultrasound measurements of fetal head-perineum distance and cervical length as predictive factors for the success of IOL.
