Pre‐induction sonographic assessment of the cervix in the prediction of successful induction of labour in nulliparous women

Objective:  To compare the efficacy of ultrasonographic cervical assessment with Bishop score before induction of labour in predicting the success of labour induction in nulliparous women.
