AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of breech delivery on the condition of 48 healthy, mature newborns who were born spontaneously.
- All infants underwent neurological assessments using Prechtl's method to evaluate their central nervous system integrity.
- The results indicated no significant differences in neurological conditions between breech and vertex delivery infants, contrasting with findings from earlier retrospective studies.
Article Abstract
The effect of breech delivery on the condition of the newborn infant was studied in a population of 48 consecutive, mature, newborn infants delivered spontaneously and having birth weights between the 5th and 95th percentiles for gestational age. The integrity of the central nervous system of all infants was assessed semiquantitatively by Prechtl's method of neurological examination. The results were compared to those obtained in a previous study of a similar group of infants born in vertex presentation. In contrast to retrospective studies, no differences in neurologic condition were found blood and neurological score, demonstrated previously in infants born in vertex presentation, was found in the breech infants.
