The interclass correlation coefficient of the two methods was 0.82 (95% confidence interval 0.73\u20130.88). Ultrasonography showed a mean lower cervical dilatation of 10\u00a0mm (95% limits of agreement: \u221236 to 16\u00a0mm) compared with digital examination. The angle of progression and head\u2013perineum distances correlated moderately with the palpated head station (Pearson's correlation coefficients: 0.55 and \u22120.42, respectively; <jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>&lt;<jats:italic>\u00a0<\/jats:italic>0.001).
