The induction of labour, which represents an increase in maternal-fetal risks and the expense of hospital resources, has become a very frequent procedure in Obstetrics, accounting for up to 24.5% of all births in the USA in 2016. Since EH Bishop in 1964 published her pelvic scoring in relation to the result of labor induction, there have been many authors who have studied both cervical and maternal characteristics and ultrasound measurements, with the aim of improving the predictive capacity of the Bishop score. This score is, today, the most widely used in the previous management of labour induction.
