[Clinical-morphological parallels in postpartum endometritis].

Area of Science:

• Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Pathology

Context:

• Postpartum endometritis is a common complication following childbirth.
• Understanding clinicomorphologic correlations is crucial for effective management.

Purpose:

• To investigate the relationship between clinical presentation and histological findings in postpartum endometritis.
• To determine factors influencing disease severity and long-term outcomes.

Summary:

• Histological confirmation of postpartum endometritis was achieved in 83-100% of patients across different severity levels.
• Disease severity directly correlates with the extent and depth of uterine wall inflammation.
• Morphological signs of inflammation persisted in 40% of patients post-treatment, irrespective of clinical symptoms.

Impact:

• Identifies a high-risk group for chronic endometritis among patients with persistent subclinical inflammation.
• Highlights the importance of histological assessment in evaluating postpartum endometritis.
• Informs clinical practice regarding risk stratification and follow-up for postpartum endometritis.
