The maternal age, gestational week, neonatal birth weight, and Apgar score were compared.Results : There were no significant differences in maternal age, gestational week as well as neonatal birth weight among the four groups. An Apgar score at 1 minute of less than 6 points was seen in 0%, 11.1%, 15.3%, and 20% of the PC, MV, PV and EC-Gs, respectively. (PV-G and PC-G were compared to obtain p < 0.05) Although, no neonate in this study had an Apgar score at 5 minutes of less than 6 points.Conclusion : There was no significant difference of perinatal outcome between vaginal delivery and cesarean section for breech presentation at term.
