This feasibility study aimed to assess whether transperineal ultrasound (TPU) could measure the maternal pelvis as accurately as MR pelvimetry and thus predict the outcome of vaginal breech birth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this prospective cohort study, nulliparous women with a singleton fetus in breech presentation received TPU for the measurement of the anteroposterior mid\u2010pelvic diameter (AMD). These measurements were compared with those in MR pelvimetry to assess agreement and reliability. In women choosing to attempt vaginal breech birth, we additionally examined the association between the AMD (adjusted for possible confounders) and intrapartum cesarean section. The predictive performance of the AMD and traditional pelvic diameters (i.e., obstetric conjugate, interspinous, and intertuberous distance) was compared by means of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 67 nulliparous women with breech presentation received both TPU and MR pelvimetry, of which 47 chose a vaginal breech birth (30 successful vaginal births and 17 intrapartum cesarean sections). The repeatability coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficient for the AMD were 0.38\u2009cm and 0.97 (95% CI 0.96\u20130.98), respectively. Bland\u2013Altman analysis between the AMD measured in TPU and MR pelvimetry yielded a mean difference of \u22120.0052\u2009cm (95% CI \u22120.066 to 0.056\u2009cm) with upper and lower limits of agreement of 0.48\u2009cm (95% CI 0.38\u20130.59\u2009cm) and \u22120.49\u2009cm (95% CI \u22120.6\u2009cm to \u22120.39\u2009cm), respectively. In the subgroup of women who attempted vaginal breech birth, AMD was significantly associated with intrapartum cesarean section (adjusted odds ratio 0.25; 95% CI 0.06\u20130.81; AUC 0.77), while the obstetric conjugate, interspinous, and intertuberous distances were not.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TPU can accurately and reliably measure the AMD, a novel pelvic diameter in breech presentation. Importantly, a smaller AMD was associated with an increased risk of intrapartum cesarean section if vaginal breech birth was attempted.
