Role of Cervical Elastography in Predicting Progression to Active Phase in Labor Induction in Term Nulliparous Women.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Several factors, such as age, parity, body mass index, a favorable cervix, and fetal birth weight, are known to be related to the success of labor induction. With advancements in ultrasound technology, these factors have been studied to predict the success of vaginal delivery. However, there has been limited research on ultrasound measures that can effectively predict entry into the active phase of labor. Thus, we aimed to assess the use of cervical quantitative strain sonoelastography to predict entry into the active phase of labor induction. Methods: This prospective study included nulliparous term singleton pregnant women scheduled for labor induction between July 2018 and July 2022. Sonographic parameters were obtained using a transvaginal ultrasoun
