Which Fetal-pelvic Variables are Useful for Predicting Caesarean Section and Instrumental Assistance?

Conclusion: The antero-posterior inlet was an efficient variable unlike the obstetric conjugate. The obstetric conjugate diameter should no longer be considered a useful variable in estimating the arrest of labor. Antero-posterior inlet diameter was a sagittal variable that should be taken into account. The comparison of biparietal and antero-posterior outlet diameters was useful in identifying a risk for instrumental assistance.
