According to ACOG, what is a favorable score on the Bishop Pelvic scoring system for likely successful labor?

  1. A score of at least 4

  2. A score of at least 5

  3. A score of at least 6

  4. A score of at least 7

The correct answer is: A score of at least 6

A score of at least 6 on the Bishop Pelvic scoring system is considered favorable for predicting the likelihood of a successful labor. The Bishop score assesses various factors such as cervical dilation, effacement, consistency, position, and the fetal station to evaluate the readiness of the cervix for labor. A score of 6 or above indicates that the cervix is adequately prepared for labor, significantly increasing the chances of a successful vaginal delivery without the need for extensive medical intervention. This scoring system helps healthcare providers make informed decisions about the timing of induction and labor management, enhancing maternal and fetal outcomes.
