Does the fetal-pelvic index have minimal utility in predicting fetal-pelvic disproportion?
In our patient population the fetal-pelvic index was only moderately predictive of fetal-pelvic disproportion. Factors other than those assessed by the fetal-pelvic index are probably important in determining the route of delivery. Further studies are indicated.
Data in this study showed that the act of recording errors might alter behaviors, resulting in fewer errors.
