Breech presentation induction compared to cephalic presentation: Effectiveness and characteristics.

Introduction: The objective of our study was to compare the effectiveness of induction in cephalic presentations to that of breech presentations as well as the characteristics of the latter and the maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality.

Material And Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study carried out at the Lille University Hospital in the Jeanne de Flandre Maternity Hospital including all patients with a breech fetus for whom an induction was indicated beyond 37 weeks of gestation between January 2014 and December 2020. A matching was performed to include 2 cephalic presentations for one breech presentation.
