Cervical effacement is an important component of the Bishop score and is reported as a percentage. 0% indicates the cervix is at normal length, 50% indicates the cervix is half of the expected length and 100% effaced means the cervix is paper thin. [10] The Bishop score has been modified in current medical practice.
Cervical effacement: 0-30% 40-50% 60-70% 80+% Effacement translates to how 'thin' the cervix is.

Effacement is usually complete or near-complete and dilation is about 5 cm by the end of the latent phase. [43] The degree of cervical effacement and dilation may be felt during a vaginal examination.
