Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1992 Mar;166(3):851-2. doi: 10.1016/0002-9378(92)91347-d.

Abstract

From a study of birth records, breech presentation at delivery for each gestational age was found to be less frequent as compared with other reports about antenatal ultrasonographic examination. Selection bias or the effect of labor may account for the observed difference.
