A review of 93 cases of ruptured uterus over a period of 2 years in a tertiary care hospital in South India

Abstract: This was a retrospective descriptive study carried out on cases in JIPMER between July 2008 and June 2010 among 32,080 deliveries. The study sample included 93 women who had a ruptured uterus. Outcome variables included maternal characteristics, risk factors, management and complications of ruptured uterus. The incidence of ruptured uterus was 0.28%. Most of these women were multiparous (95%), between 20 and 30 years (82%). The majority had a scarred uterus (77%) and 83% were at term gestation.

“…[2][3][4] Uterine rupture is commonly seen in scarred uterus. 5 Unscarred uterine rupture is rare, however, risk factors identified are multiparity, injudicious use of oxytocin, obstetric manoeuvres, chronic steroid use, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, obstructed labour, uterine anomalies and abnormal placentation. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The high parity is recognised as a major risk factor for unscarred uterine rupture and majority of ruptures occur in term pregnancies at the time of labour.…”

“…Among women with unscarred uterus, 14 presented with rupture and seven of these women were induced in hospital. It was then concluded that the strongest association of ruptured uterus was with previous scarred uterus, multiparity and <18 months’ duration from the last cesarean section [26]. In another population-based study in the Netherlands, the incidence of uterine rupture was comparable with other Western countries.…”
