A nine year follow up study of the delivery pattern of 119 women after delivery in the persistent occiput posterior position and their occipito-anterior controls. The studied parameters were: number of deliveries, number of repeated cases of persistent occiput posterior position and operative deliveries. Deliveries in the occipito-posterior position were more common in the study group than in the controls (P= 0.031). Except for this, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups. According to the results, recurrence of the persistent occiput posterior position is common. A history of delivery in the persistent occiput posterior position does not seem to have any major impact on future childbearing.
