Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 29
Abstract
Rupture uterus is a potentially catastrophic event with high maternal and perinatal mortality. It is a preventable condition. Most common cause of rupture uterus is a scarred uterus, reflecting the danger of rise in caesarean section rate. AIM: 1) To identify risk factors of rupture uterus. 2) To study the fetal and maternal outcome. METHODOLOGY: An observational study at tertiary care hospital for a period of 25 months (May 2012-May 2014). RESULT: The incidence is 5.64 per 1000 deliveries with majority of ruptures in a scarred uterus. CONCLUSION: Rupture uterus is a potentially preventable condition. Early diagnosis and active surgical treatment is the key to reduce morbidity and mortality. Prevention is by giving good antenatal care and reducing the caesarean section rate
