The Bishop score, since its description in 1964, remains the gold standard for assessing favorability for induction of labor. However, the preinduction {u2018}favorability{u2019} of the cervix as assessed by the Bishop score is very subjective and several studies have demonstrated a poor predictive value for the outcome of induction especially in women with a low bishop score. The aim of this study was to evaluate the transvaginal ultrasonographic measurements and a new score proposed by kepansereel et al. in 2012 combining parity and ultrasonographic measurements in predicting the success of induction of labor ER -
