Adherence to guidelines and suboptimal practice in term breech delivery with perinatal death- a population-based case-control study in Norway

摘要

BackgroundIn a recent population-based study we reported excess risk of neonatal mortality associated with vaginal breech delivery. In this case-control study we examine whether deviations from Norwegian guidelines are more common in breech deliveries resulting in intrapartum or neonatal deaths than in breech deliveries where the offspring survives, and if these deaths are potentially avoidable.
