A six-year material of 236 singleton breech deliveries at term was evaluated retrospectively. Infants who were small for the gestational ages at birth were excluded. Vaginal delivery proved successful in 41.1% of the material. The vaginal success rate was 61.8. Low parity and age and high birth weight reduced the vaginal success rate. The route of delivery did not affect the outcome in terms of infantile morbidity or mortality. Nevertheless, an increased number of neonates with congenital disorders was observed. It is concluded that trial of vaginal delivery may be employed in a selected group of pregnant women with breech presentations without increasing the risk of adverse effects of the neonate.

D012189	Retrospective Studies	Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
