212: Intrapartum measurement of the lower uterine segment thickness (LUST) - defining the normal

Sonographic measurement of the lower uterine segment thickness: is it truly predictive of uterine rupture?

BACKGROUND Sonographic examination of the lower uterine segment (LUS) has been used to diagnose a uterine defect and to determine the degree of LUS thinning in women with previous Caesarean section. Previous studies have demonstrated that the LUS thickness measured sonographically has a high negative predictive value for uterine rupture, suggesting that a normal LUS thickness predicts a safe tr...

Sonographic Lower Uterine Segment Thickness Measurement and Risk of Uterine Scar Defect in Women with Previous Caesarean Section

Background: Risk of scar defect is inversely correlated with lower uterine segment thickness. The study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic measurement of the lower uterine segment thickness near term in predicting uterine scar defect in women with prior Caesarean section and ascertain the best cut-off value for predicting uterine rupture in our country. Methods: This observat...

Sonographic lower uterine segment thickness and risk of uterine scar defect: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE To study the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic measurements of the lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness near term in predicting uterine scar defects in women with prior Caesarean section (CS). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library (1965-2009). METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Studies of populations of women with previous low transverse CS who underwent third-trimester eval...
