Background: The ripeness of the cervix is of critical importance to the probability
of successful labour induction. Aim: To
determine the relationship between successful induction of labour and Bishop score. Materials
and Methods: Aretrospective study of all obstetric patients who had induction of labour
between January 1st 2012 and December 31st 2015 was done in Federal
Teaching Hospital Abakaliki. The information obtained from patients’ case notes
was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at an alpha level of
0.05 for all statistical tests. Results: During
the study period, there were 9548 deliveries; 2.76% (264) was by induction of
labour with success rate of 75.4%. The mean age of the women was 28.4±
