[Fetal prognosis in breech delivery. Statistical study of 543 cases].
The authors report a retrospective study of 543 breech deliveries during a 4-year period (1987-90). The cesarean section rate was 18.4 per cent, and perinatal mortality 3.68 per cent. Poor prognostic factors were: multiparity, large fetus, cord prolapse, second stage of labour lasting more than 30 mins and obstetric manoeuvres. Prenatal care and obstetric evaluation before labour may improve fetal prognosis.
