Pelvimetry revisited: Predicting cephalopelvic disproportion

Objective: To assess the clinical value of pelvimetry to predict dystocia due to cephalopelvic (cp) disproportion. Materials and Methods: 50 patients who had received an abdominal CT scan postpartum between 01/2002 and 09/2007 were included in the analysis. Patients were divided into three groups by the course of birth: spontaneous vaginal delivery (A), dystocia due to cp disproportion (B) and patients who did not match either group (C). Various previously described methods used to diagnose cephalopelvic disproportion were evaluated in a blinded manner for their accuracy in diagnosing cp disproportion. Results:…
