Bishop-score v.1
The Bishop Score is used to predict need for induction of labor.
To predict need for induction of labor.
Use to predict need for induction of labor. The Bishop Score is based on five parameters: Dilation - dilation of the cervix (0-3p). Effacement - how thin the cervix is (0-3p). Fetal station - the position of the fetus' head in relation to spinae ishiadica (0-3p). Position - position of the cervix (0-2p). Consistency - consistency of the cervix (0-2p). Thus the maximum score is 13p. Score interpretation: ≤5p - labor is unlikely to commence without induction 6-7p - indeterminate group - use clinical judgment ≥8p - labor is likely to commence spontaneously, making induction unnecessary
The result may vary depending of weeks of gestation - the Bishop Score should only be used as support to overall clinical assessment.
