Prediction of obstetric outcome in vaginal breech birth using ultrasound pelvimetry in nulliparous women—A feasibility study
TPU can accurately and reliably measure the AMD, a novel pelvic diameter in breech presentation. Importantly, a smaller AMD was associated with an increased risk of intrapartum cesarean section if vaginal breech birth was attempted. Consequently, TPU could represent an alternative to MR pelvimetry and support women in deciding their preferred mode of birth in breech presentation.
