Bishop score and labor duration: a new look.
The Bishop score determined on admission was correlated with labor duration in this group of 770 patients delivered of infants in community hospitals. The total score correlated well with duration of latent-phase labor in primiparas and multiparas, but not with active phase in either parity group. We recommended the Bishop score as a useful predictor of latent-phase duration to facilitate decisions in management of labor.
