  • Title: Assessment of the predictive value of X-ray pelvimetry and biparietal diameter in cephalopelvic disproportion.
    Author: Mandry J, Grandjean H, Reme JM, Pastor J, Levade C, Pontonnier G.
    Journal: Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol; 1983 Jul; 15(3):173-9. PubMed ID: 6617936.
    Abstract:
    The value of X-ray pelvimetry and ultrasonic measurement of the biparietal diameter for trial of labor prognosis was assessed in 172 healthy primiparas with suspected cephalopelvic disproportion. A decision diagram which is able to correctly predict 50% of the cesarean sections without increasing the number of unnecessary cesarean sections is proposed. In addition, the study confirms the superfluity of X-ray pelvimetry in cases of high station of the fetal head at the end of pregnancy.
