Abstract

Introduction: Delivery of fetus in breech presentation is a controversial topic in obstetrics and it had been the subject of debate since 1980s. As experts with abilities and know-how to perform vaginal breech delivery have decreased, and medico legal concerns increased, some physicians endorse cesarean section for breech presentation at term. The aim of this study was to identify the perinatal outcome in vaginal breech deliveries. Methodology: This study was a retrospective case control study of mothers delivered vaginally between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2023 in Orotta National Referral Teaching Hospital. Mothers who gave vaginal breech delivery (VBD) were enrolled as cases and two successive vertex vaginal deliveries (VVD) as controls. Results: A total of 1919 patient records were analyzed, of which 641(33.6%) were cases and 1278 (66.4%) controls. The mean age and parity of the mothers was 28.98 (SD = 5.56) and 2.18 (SD = 1.96) respectively. History of previous stillbirth was documented in 0.4% and multiple pregnancies found in 10.2% of the study participants. The prevalence of stillbirth was 5% (1% in controls and 4% in cases).
