“…There was a significantly higher risk of maternal infection (36 vs. 3%) and longer length of stay (median = 5 days vs. 3 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] days) in patients with a uterine rupture. These differences reached statistica l significance with p values of 0.003 and 0.01, respectively.…”

“…The risk of uterine rupture after a previous cesarean section is reported to be between 0.2-1.5% for prior low transverse incisions and 4-9% for prior classical scars. [1][2][3] Maternal and neo-natal mortality following uterine rupture have been reported as high as 7.9 and 6%, respectively. 4 Many studies have investigated predictors of successful vaginal birth after cesarean section, reporting low rates of maternal and fetal morbidity associated with trial of labor.…”

The purpose of this study is to identify pregnancy and labor factors that place women at increased risk for symptomatic uterine rupture during trial of labor following cesarean section. The study population consisted of 16 women with uterine rupture after a trial of labor who were compared with 32 women without uterine rupture after a trial of labor. Using a case-control study design with a 1:2 match, we examined risk factors that might be associated with an increased risk of uterine rupture. Cases were more likely to have an induction of labor with the use of oxytocin and/or amniotomy (56 vs. 34%) and more likely to undergo augmentation with oxytocin (25 vs. 19%) in comparison with controls. In addition, cases were more likely to be given oxytocin (for either induction or augmentation) (75 vs. 50%) and cervical ripening agents (31 vs. 9%) versus controls. Neonates born after uterine rupture had a higher rate of significant acidosis (pH < 7.0, 57 vs. 0%, p = 0.0002) and lower Apgar scores. There was a significantly higher risk of maternal infection (36 vs. 3%, p = 0.003), transfusion (13 vs. 0%, p = 0.03), and longer length of stay in patients with uterine rupture. There is a trend for increased use of augmentation and induction agents to be associated with uterine rupture. Serious maternal and fetal morbidities are increased following uterine rupture.

“…To the Editor: We would like to recognize Dr. Kane's original use of the term glidepath 1 . We apologize that, in our citation search using the terms “glide path” and “glidepath,” we did not come across his article, but found only one reference using this term related to vaginal birth delivery 2 . We would also like to say that we agree with Dr. Kane that the original meaning in which he used it is quite different.…”
