The cervical length was measured by transvaginal sonography before induction. Univariate analyses were performed by constructing Kaplan\u2013Meier survival curves for the induction\u2010to\u2010delivery interval for various subgroups, and comparing these using log rank tests. Multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model and multiple linear regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Successful vaginal delivery within 24 h of induction occurred in 67% of the women and the pre\u2010induction cervical length was significantly associated with the induction\u2010to\u2010delivery interval and the rate of vaginal delivery within 24 h. Sonographically measured cervical length was better than the Bishop score or cervical length by vaginal examination in predicting the outcome of induction. Parity provided a significant independent contribution, in addition to pre\u2010induction cervical length, in the prediction of the outcome of labor. Thus, in multiparae the incidence of successful vaginal delivery within 24 h of induction was about 30% higher than in nulliparae. For the same cervical length, the induction\u2010to\u2010delivery interval in multiparae was 37% lower than in nulliparae.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In women undergoing induction of labor for prolonged pregnancy, cervical length and parity provide independent prediction of induction\u2010to\u2010delivery interval and the likelihood of vaginal delivery within 24 h of induction.
