A cervix unfavorable for treatment with prostaglandin for preinduction cervical ripening was defined as having either a Bishop score of \u2a7d 4 or a cervical length of \u2265 28 mm. The primary outcome measures were induction success (defined as an ability to achieve the active phase of labor) and the percentage of patients treated with prostaglandin for preinduction cervical ripening.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The two groups were similar with respect to maternal demographics, gestational age, cervical length, and Bishop score. The rates of induction success and Cesarean delivery, the interval to active phase of labor, and the interval to delivery were also similar in the two groups. However, in the transvaginal ultrasound group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 77), prostaglandin was administered to only 36% of the nulliparae compared with 75% of those in the Bishop score group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 77) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In comparison with the Bishop score, the use of sonographic cervical length for assessing the cervix prior to induction of labor can reduce the need for prostaglandin administration by approximately 50% without adversely affecting the outcome of induction in nulliparae at term if the cut\u2010off values used are a Bishop score of \u2a7d 4 and a cervical length of \u2265 28 mm.
