[Use of Zatuchni-Andros score system on deliveries from breech presentation (author's transl)]

The Zatuchni-Andros score was applied to assessment of deliveries from breech presentation, between January 5th, 1973, and December 31st, 1976. Frequency of caesarean section was 28.3 per cent and perinatal mortality 0.44 per cent in 247 deliveries on term. The authors' experience and results were compared with literature data and supported the conclusion that the Zatuchni-Andros score was a reliable instrument of decision-making on the obstetric method that should be used in cases of breech presentation.
