Uterine rupture is a significant obstetric complication in the Central African Republic, affecting 0.6% of deliveries. High parity, abnormal fetal presentation, and macrosomia are key risk factors, leading to high maternal and perinatal mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal Health
  • Perinatal Outcomes

Context:

  • High maternal mortality rates persist in the Central African Republic (CAR), with obstetric complications being a primary driver.
  • Médecins Sans Frontières operates a critical referral maternity ward in Bangui, CAR.
  • Uterine rupture is a severe obstetric complication with significant implications for maternal and infant health.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence and associated factors of uterine rupture in Bangui, CAR.
  • To investigate the fatality rates and perinatal outcomes associated with uterine rupture.
  • To analyze the impact of a history of uterine surgery on the outcomes of uterine rupture.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study analyzed 38,782 deliveries between 2018 and 2021.

  • Uterine rupture occurred in 0.6% of cases, with parity ⩾5, non-occipital fetal presentation, and macrosomia as significant risk factors.
  • The study found higher maternal mortality and poorer neonatal outcomes in cases of uterine rupture on a non-scarred uterus compared to a scarred uterus.

    • Impact:

    • Uterine rupture poses a major threat to maternal and perinatal health in the CAR.
    • Early detection of risk factors for uterine rupture is crucial.
    • Increased coverage of comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal care is essential to mitigate adverse outcomes.
