Prelabour uterine rupture: characteristics and outcomes

Prelabour Rupture of Membranes: Mode of Delivery and Outcome

BACKGROUND Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and increased rate of cesarean section delivery. AIM The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics, PROM-delivery interval, mode of delivery, and early maternal neonatal outcome among pregnant patients presenting with pre-labour rupture of membranes. MATERIAL AND ME...

Maternal and fetal outcomes of uterine rupture and factors associated with maternal death secondary to uterine rupture

BACKGROUND Maternal mortality and morbidity are the priority agenda for sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. Uterine rupture is the leading cause of maternal and fetal death in developing countries. Limited evidence is available on the magnitude of uterine rupture; maternal and fetal outcomes of uterine rupture and factors associated with maternal death secondary to uterine rupture in Ethiopi...

Clinical Practice Guideline Preterm Prelabour Rupture of the Membranes

Uterine Rupture

Occult or incomplete rupture refers to a surgical scar separating but the visceral peritoneum staying intact. It is usually asymptomatic and does not require emergency surgery. Complete rupture can be: Traumatic: A motor vehicle accident. Incorrect use of oxytocic agent. A poorly conducted attempt at operative vaginal delivery (typically breech extraction with an incompletely dilated cervix). (...
