Recurrence of breech presentation in consecutive pregnancies

Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the recurrence risk of breech presentation at term, and to assess the risk factors that contribute to its recurrence.DesignCohort study.SettingNew South Wales, Australia.PopulationWomen with their first two (n = 113 854) and first three (n = 21 690) consecutive singleton term pregnancies, in the period 1994–2002.MethodsDescriptive statistics including rates, relative risks and adjusted relative risks, as determined from logistic regression and Poisson analyses.Main outcome measuresRates… Show more

“…Risk patterns for occurrence and recurrence of gestational diabetes observed in the present study are similar to recurrence studies of other pregnancy conditions, such as post-partum haemorrhage and breech presentation [16,17]. Common patterns include: highest risk of occurrence in the first pregnancy, increased risk with each subsequent pregnancy, and decreased risk after an intervening unaffected pregnancy.…”

“…Risk factors for breech presentation include older maternal age [5][6][7], nulliparity [5][6][7], preexisting diabetes [7,8], gestational diabetes [7], smoking [5], placenta previa [7], uterine abnormalities [6,9], previous breech presentation [10], previous caesarean section [5], small fetal size [5][6][7], and congenital anomalies [6,7,10]. There is also some evidence that the rate of breech presentation may differ by ethnicity, with women of African ancestry appearing to have the lowest rates [5,8].…”

“…In general, there exists approximately 15% risk of repetitive breech delivery after the previous one, and this risk is higher for cesarean sections [20]. The relative risk of breech recurrence in a second pregnancy is 3.2 and in a third consecutive breech pregnancy 13.9 [21]. Any other breeches are extremely rare.…”
