[Assessment of Bishop's pelvic score in induction of labor prognosis]

Abstract

Aim of the present mixed prospective and retrospective study is to determine the prognostic significance of the 5 parameters of the pelvic score of Bishop for the continuity and the final outlet of induction of labor. Based on the given results the authors conclude that the dilatation of the cervix is a good prognostic factor for the nulliparous and bad prognostic factor for multiparous. The effacement of the cervix is significant for the outlet of the induction regardless of parity. The level of the presenting part is a valuable criterion for the nulliparous when the pelvic is well assessed but for the multiparous it has no prognostic value. The firmness of the cervix has a bad prognostic value regardless of parity. The position of the is a good prognostic factor for the outlet of the induction but has no value prognosis of the continuity of the induction.
