Uterine rupture, a grave but preventable obstetrical emergency: A prospective Cross Sectional Study

Abstract

Maternal mortality and morbidity are the priority agenda. Uterine rupture is the leading cause of maternal and fetal death in developing countries. Limited evidence is available on the magnitude of uterine rupture; maternal and fetal outcomes of uterine rupture and factors associated with maternal death secondary to uterine rupture. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of uterine rupture; maternal and fetal outcome of uterine rupture and factors associated with maternal death secondary to uterine rupture.
