Incidence and contribution of predisposing factors to transverse lie presentation
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Barzilai Medical Center, Ashkelon, Israel.
Objectives:
Reassessment of predisposing factors to transverse lie presentation.
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of delivery data on 92 women with transverse lie presentation, using ultrasonography, and 92 randomly chosen control vertex deliveries.
Results:
The association between transverse lie and multiparity, prematurity, placenta previa, polyhydramnios and uterine anomalies is reaffirmed. Predisposing factors were found in 66% of primiparas but in only 33% of multiparas.
Conclusions:
Known predisposing factors to transverse lie presentation withstood a closer and more accurate assessment of their incidence.
