What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
prediction of latent phase duration by uterocervical angle in post term pregnancies	In patients diagnosed with late term pregnancy, the uterocervical angle and cervical length were measured by transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) at the time of admission to the delivery room before labor induction.	5 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
the relative success of UCA in active phase and duration of labor prediction in post term pregnancies	5 months	5 months
