- Abstract
The article presents a study which evaluates fetal head-perineum distance measured by transperineal ultrasound imaging as a predictive factor for induction of labor (IOL), and to compare this distance with maternal factors, Bishop score and ultrasound measurements of cervical length, cervical angle and occiput position. Findings reveal that fetal head-perineum distance can predict vaginal delivery after IOL, with a predictive value similar to that of Bishop score and ultrasound measurements.
