This article reviews the commonly known Bishop score and how it was derived from the Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction study. The study observed women in spontaneous labor, their initial cervical exams, as well as the development and implementation of pelvic scoring for labor induction. It reviews the components of the original Bishop score and compares it to a Simplified Bishop score and how their applications compare when determining the likelihood of success of vaginal delivery. It demonstrates how a cervix is determined to be favorable or unfavorable. This article includes a figure that displays time to delivery and the content is intended for providers in obstetrics and gynecology.
