The control group comprised children born in a cephalic presentation at the same gestational age. This study included 23 803 singleton deliveries at gestational weeks 24\u2009+\u20090\u201336\u2009+\u20096 between 2004 and 2014.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>From 1629 women that underwent a trial of vaginal breech delivery, 1122 (66.3%) were converted to emergency cesarean sections. At extremely preterm and very preterm gestations (weeks 24\u2009+\u20090\u201431\u2009+\u20096), no association between a trial of vaginal breech delivery and neurodevelopmental delay occurred. At gestational weeks 32\u2009+\u20090\u201436\u2009+\u20096, the risks of visual disability (aOR 1.67, CI 1.07\u20142.60) and autism spectrum disorders (aOR 2.28, CI 1.14\u20144.56) were increased after an attempted vaginal breech delivery as compared to vaginal cephalic delivery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A trial of vaginal breech delivery at extremely preterm and very preterm gestations appears not to increase the risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes at the age of four. In moderate to late preterm births, a trial of vaginal breech delivery was associated with an increased risk of visual impairment and autism spectrum disorders compared to children born in cephalic presentation.
