Key clinical point: Vaginal breech delivery (VBD) performed under experienced supervision does not significantly increase the risk for negative short-term perinatal outcomes.
Major finding: VBD, elective caesarean section (CS), and emergency CS did not result in any significant difference in the proportion of neonates with a 5-min Apgar score of <3, umbilical arterial pH of <7.00, or the need for admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (all P > .05).
Study details: This single-center, retrospective study included 804 singleton pregnant women with a fetus in breech position at delivery who underwent VBD (n = 433), emergency CS (n = 214), or elective CS (n = 157).
Disclosures: No source of funding was reported. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
