Cervical elastography was applied to patients before induction. Induction\n                    success in pregnant women who underwent induction with oxytocin was accepted to\n                    be greater than Bishop 9. The cases were divided into two groups as successful\n                    (n=28) and unsuccessful (n=28) induction, and their\n                    elastosonographic findings were compared.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          ResultsIn 28 cases with successful induction (Bishop &gt;9, and\n                    vaginal delivery occurred in 28), the mean stiffness of the cervix in\n                    measurements from four regions was 13.6 \u00b13.7 kPa in the measurement of\n                    the cervix with the elastography method before induction was started, while this\n                    value was measured as 14.9 \u00b1 3.1 in cases where induction was\n                    unsuccessful (t- value: -1.321, p=0.194).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions Our study showed that pre-induction stiffness of the cervix\n                    cannot predict the success of labor induction with oxytocin. More studies with\n                    larger samples are needed to arrive at a decent conclusion. In addition, results\n                    can be more assuring with the developing technique and sensitivity of\n                    elastography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2073-8589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,6]],"date-time":"2023-06-06T23:36:53Z","timestamp":1686094613000},"page":"277-280","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Can Transvaginal Cervical Elastography predict the success of\n                    induction of labor with oxytocin?"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"227","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3078-8420","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inci","family":"Halilzade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Sciences Ankara City Hospital, Gynecology and\n                    Obstetrics Department, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5946-6302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad \u0130brahim","family":"Halilzade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Sciences Ankara City Hospital, Gynecology and\n                    Obstetrics Department, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0862-4793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00dcmit Yasemin","family":"Sert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Sciences Ankara City Hospital, Gynecology and\n                    Obstetrics Department, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0557-9552","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihriban","family":"Alkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Sciences Ankara City Hospital, Radiology\n                    Department, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2268-3821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u00fcseyin Levent","family":"Keskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Health Sciences Ankara City Hospital, Gynecology and\n                    Obstetrics Department, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","first-page":"CD000451","article-title":"Membrane sweeping for induction of labor","volume":"2","author":"E M Finucane","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"CD007707","article-title":"Morning versus evening induction of labour for improving outcomes","volume":"2","author":"JJ H Bakker","year":"2013","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"CD004945","article-title":"Induction of labour for improving birth outcomes for women at or beyond\n                    term","volume":"5","author":"P Middleton","year":"2018","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"R1","DOI":"10.1088\/0031-9155\/56\/1\/R01","article-title":"Imaging the elastic properties of tissue: the 20 year perspective","volume":"56","author":"K J Parker","year":"2011","journal-title":"Phys Med Biol"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1097\/ruq.0b013e31815b7ed6","article-title":"Imaging and estimation of tissue elasticity by ultrasound","volume":"23","author":"B S.
