Abstract

Breech presentation occurs in 3%–4% of deliveries. The optimal method for delivering these babies has been a controversial issue in obstetrics. The Term Breech Trial compared the efficacy of planned caesarean section with that of planned vaginal delivery for breech presentation at term.1 The combined outcome of perinatal or neonatal death and serious neonatal morbidity was significantly and substantially lower with planned cesarean section than with planned vaginal delivery (1.6% v. 5.0%; relative risk 0.33, 95% confidence interval 0.9 to 10.56). The paper by Roberto Palencia and colleagues published in this issue of the Journal2 presents a detailed study of the costs incurred by the 2 arms of the Term Breech Trial, which were analyzed by intention to treat.
