Abstract Objective: To assess the risk of intra-uterine death (IUD) after external cephalic version (ECV). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 1078 consecutive ECVs performed between January 1994 and March 2011 in an University teaching hospital were extracted from the computerized database to examine the risk of IUD after ECV. Results: A total of 1078 consecutive ECVs were performed over the study period. The overall successful rate was 72.8%, the successful rate was 63.1% in nulliparous and 82.7% in multiparous respectively (p<0.001). There was no IUD identified within 24 hours after the procedure and there was only one case of IUD (0.09%) occurred four weeks after an uncomplicated ECV. Conclusions: External cephalic version is a safe procedure which does not increase the risk of IUD within and after 24 hour of enrolment irrespective of outcome of ECV. Our findings have important clinical implication in terms of patient counselling regarding the decision on term breech management. |
