title: The 'inductograph'--a graph describing the limits of the latent phase of induced labour in low risk situations.
abstract: The construction of an 'inductograph' is described which defines the rates of progress of the latent phase of labour in 80 per cent of a group of patients selected from a 'low risk' category. A standard induction regime was used, and changes in the uterine cervix were assessed quantitatively by a modified form of the Bishop scoring system.
