Comparing Pre-Induction Ultrasound Parameters and the Bishop Score to Determine Whether Labor Induction Is Successful.

: The incidence of labor induction is steadily increasing worldwide. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the ultrasound parameters and their mutual correlation and to analyze the parameters' predictive capability in assessing the success of labor induction. The secondary goal was to assess patients' tolerability and acceptance of transvaginal ultrasound and digital gynecological examination.

Ultrasound assessment of cervical status compared to the Bishop score - predicting the success of labor induction using a machine learning-based model.

Objective: The main aim of this study was to develop a machine-learning-based model for predicting the success of labor induction (IOL). To that end, the clinical and ultrasound parameters that affect the successfulness of labor induction were assessed. Then, a new ultrasound scoring system (USS) was developed and assessed.
