Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction: The Bishop Score
Abstract
This article reviews the commonly known Bishop score and how it was derived from the Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction study. The study observed women in spontaneous labor, their initial cervical exams, as well as the development and implementation of pelvic scoring for labor induction. It reviews the components of the original Bishop score and compares it to a Simplified Bishop score and how their applications compare when determining the likelihood of success of vaginal delivery. It demonstrates how a cervix is determined to be favorable or unfavorable. This article includes a figure that displays time to delivery and the content is intended for providers in obstetrics and gynecology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
