Is vaginal delivery of a fetus in breech presentation at an extremely preterm gestational age associated with an increased risk of neonatal death? A comparative study.

<h4>Background</h4>The effect on neonatal mortality of mode of delivery of a fetus in breech presentation at an extremely preterm gestational age remains controversial.<h4>Objective</h4>To compare mortality associated with planned vaginal delivery (PVD) of fetuses in breech p...
