Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at the Rafic Hariri
University Hospital (a tertiary hospital in Beirut) where we divided the
obstetricians into two groups: the first group received the PROMPT
(Practical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) and the other group
who did not receive this training.
Then we compared the mode of delivery of breech presentation according
to whether the obstetrician received the training or not. This
comparison is based on the classification of the Robson 10-group
classification adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The
training sessions took place between June 2018 and June 2019 and
included simulation sessions according to the PROMPT for the attending
physicians then simulation sessions by these PROMPT-certified attending
physicians for the residents in our department. The neonatal outcomes
including the Apgar score and the admission to the neonatal intensive
care unit (NICU) were noted as well.
Our study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at our
center.
