To review the short and long term outcomes among singleton infants with breech presentation at term delivered in a geographically defined population over a 10-year period. ⋯ Vaginal breech delivery or caesarean section in labour was associated with a small but unequivocal increase in the short term mortality and morbidity. However, the long term outcome was not influenced by the mode of delivery.

To describe the incidence of three conditions of acute severe maternal morbidity in selected regions in nine European countries. ⋯ This study sets a simple and straightforward approach to the definition of three severe obstetric conditions and allows population-based comparisons between developed countries in Europe, even though difficulties may have been present with applying the definition across countries. The reported incidence of these severe obstetric conditions in general and severe haemorrhage varied significantly between countries. Overall, severe haemorrhage in particular was the most common of the three conditions, followed closely by severe pre-eclampsia.
-
To study seroprevalence and incidence and fetal transmission of varicella zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 and parvovirus B19 infections during pregnancy and to evaluate the reliability of maternal past history of VZV, HSV and parvovirus infections. ⋯ Seroprevalence and the risk of viral infections during pregnancy cannot be extrapolated from one pregnant population to another.
