Sonography was performed to obtain fetal biometry, amniotic fluid index and cervical length and to detect funneling at the internal cervical os. The sonographic findings were concealed. Study women received standard care during labour induction.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> On univariate analysis using Fisher's exact test, parity, cervical length and Bishop score were associated with Caesarean delivery. Following multivariable logistic regression analysis, only nulliparity (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 5.2 (95% CI 2.2\u201312.2): <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and transvaginal ultrasound\u2010determined cervical length of more than 20\u00a0mm (AOR 2.8 (95% CI 1.0\u20137.4): <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.04) were independent predictors of Caesarean delivery in labour induction.
