    PURPOSE: to assess the obstetric and perinatal outcomes in cases of term newborns in breech presentation, in patients with previous vaginal deliveries, comparing them to term newborns in vertex presentation. METHODS: 8,350 deliveries retrospectively from March 1998 to July 2003 were analysed. Of 419 deliveries (5.1%) in breech presentation, 58 cases were selected for the study (breech group), according to the following criteria: patients who had had one or more babies through vaginal delivery, gestational age ³37 weeks, no fetal malformation, no complications in the current pregnancy, birth weight between 2,500 and 3,750 g, and no previous cesarean section. The breech group was matched to 1,327 newborns in vertex position from pregnant women with no previous cesarean section (vertex group). Maternal age, parity, gestational age, delivery way, birth weight, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, 1- and 5-min Apgar score, need of neonatal intensive care unit, and small- and big-for-gestational age newborns were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed by the c² test and by Student's t test, with the level of significance set at p<0.05. RESULTS: when breech and vertex groups were compared, they showed significant differences regarding the following variables: birth weight (3,091±538 g vs 3,250±497 g; p<0.01), vaginal delivery (63.8 vs 95.0%; p<0.0001), cesarean section (36.2 vs 5.0%; p<0,0001), and 1-min Apgar score (p<0.0001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: we conclude that in term fetuses in breech position from pregnant women with previous vaginal deliveries, birth weight, delivery way, and 1-min Apgar score were different compared to fetuses in vertex position from women with the same characteristics.
