Official title
Bishop Score Versus Cervical Length by Transvaginal Ultrasound for Predicting Success of Labor Induction Among Primigravida
Overview
The study population consists of term primigravida women undergoing induction of labor at a tertiary care referral center in Assiut, Egypt.
Detailed description
Participants include 88 primigravida women at ≥37 weeks of gestation, each with a singleton pregnancy in cephalic presentation. All participants present with medical or obstetric indications for induction of labor, such as post-dates, oligohydramnios, mild preeclampsia, or premature rupture of membranes. Exclusion criteria include prior uterine surgery, multiple pregnancies, malpresentation, placenta previa, vasa previa, non-reassuring fetal status at admission, or maternal infections such as active genital herpes and HIV. A carefully designed sample size calculation ensures adequate power, with a final cohort of 44 women per study arm.
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of vaginal delivery [Time frame: Within 24 hours]
