The effect of preinduction cervical length measurement with three different ultrasonographic methods on predicting delivery time.

The correlation between all three methods and BISHOP scores indicates that TP and TA USG can be used instead of TV USG. On the other hand, while TA USG did not give a clear result in the accurate estimation of vaginal delivery time, TP, and TV USG gave both accurate and close results. When all these data are evaluated, it is concluded that TPU can be used safely instead of TVU, especially in patients receiving induction.
