Bishop score, also Bishop's score, also known as cervix score is a pre-labor scoring system to assist in predicting whether induction of labor will be required. It has also been used to assess the odds of spontaneous preterm delivery. The Bishop Score was developed by Dr. Edward Bishop and was published in August 1964.〔(AGOS-Edward H. Bishop )〕 ==Components== The total score is achieved by assessing the following five components on vaginal examination: *Cervical dilation *Cervical effacement *Cervical consistency *Cervical position *Fetal station The Bishop score grades patients who would be most likely to achieve a successful induction. The duration of labor is inversely correlated with the Bishop score; a score that exceeds 8 describes the patient most likely to achieve a successful vaginal birth. Bishop scores of less than 6 usually require that a cervical ripening method be used before other methods. They can be remembered with the mnemonic: ''Call PEDS For Parturition'' = ''C''ervical ''P''osition, ''E''ffacement, ''D''ilation, ''S''oftness; ''F''etal ''S''tation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bishop score」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
