title: Incidence and contribution of predisposing factors to transverse lie presentation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Reassessment of predisposing factors to transverse lie presentation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective analysis of delivery data on 92 women with transverse lie presentation, using ultrasonography, and 92 randomly chosen control vertex deliveries.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The association between transverse lie and multiparity, prematurity, placenta previa, polyhydramnios and uterine anomalies is reaffirmed. Predisposing factors were found in 66% of primiparas but in only 33% of multiparas.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Known predisposing factors to transverse lie presentation withstood a closer and more accurate assessment of their incidence.
