[Complete uterine ruptures]
Background:
Uterine rupture is one of the most severe Obstetric complications by high morbidity and maternal and fetal mortality.
Objectives:
To review cases of uterine rupture occurred for the last five years. Release the incidence, the risk factors and maternal and fetal complications, both immediate and long term.
Methods:
Retrospective cohort study including all patients who completed their gestation in the University Hospital Complex of Ourense (Spain) between 2008 and March 2013. Review all medical records of patients diagnosed with uterine rupture during this period. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical package Epidat 3.0.
Results:
We found an overall incidence of uterine rupture of 0.078 %. In patients with a previous cesarean delivery incidence rises to 0.31%.
Conclusion:
Uterine rupture is an uncommon but with high maternal fetal morbidity. The main risk factor is a trial of labor after a previous cesarean delivery.
