Induction of labour is defined as intervention designed to artificially initiate uterine contraction leading to progressive dilatation and effacement of the cervix. Ultrasonographic assessment of cervix is valuable in term or post term gestation for prediction of successful vaginal delivery. This study aimed to examine the relationship between preinduction sonographically measured cervical length and the bishop score and to compare the two measurement in prediction of successful vaginal delivery
