Bishop score

Bishop score, also Bishop's score, is a pre-labor scoring system to assist in predicting whether an induction of labormay be successful. The total score is achieved by assessing the following five components:

  • Cervical dilatation
  • Cervical effacement
  • Cervical consistency
  • Cervical position
  • Fetal station

Components are given a score of 0-2 or 0-3. The highest possible score is 13.
