Abstract
The construction of an 'inductograph' is described which defines the rates of progress of the latent phase of labour in 80 per cent of a group of patients selected from a 'low risk' category. A standard induction regime was used, and changes in the uterine cervix were assessed quantitatively by a modified form of the Bishop scoring system.Keywords
