Cervical length, posterior angle, and dilatation were evaluated with transvaginal ultrasound followed by Bishop score without knowledge of the ultrasound measurements. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Univariable regression analyses of successful induction were significant for digital assessment of cervical dilatation, ultrasound measured fetal head\u2013perineum distance \u226440 mm, ultrasound measured cervical length \u226425 mm, and ultrasound measured posterior cervical angle &gt;90 degrees. After adjusting for maternal factors in a multivariable model, estimates were significant for previous vaginal birth (OR 5.3; 95% CI 2.1\u201313.9, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.01), but borderline for maternal height (OR 1.1; 95% CI 1.0\u20131.2, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.01) and ultrasound measured posterior cervical angle &gt;90 degrees (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.1\u20136.1, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03). A scoring model combining ultrasound measured fetal head\u2013perineum distance, cervical length, cervical posterior angle and digitally assessed cervical dilatation, discriminated successful and failed induction at 71% (95% CI 61\u201380%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.01) area under the receiver\u2013operating characteristics curve. <jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic> Digital assessment of fetal head descent, cervical length and position can possibly be replaced with ultrasound measurements.
