Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the incidence and risk factors for complete uterine rupture among women attempting vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) over a 16-year period in France.
- Out of 48,124 patients with a prior cesarean section, 65.8% attempted a VBAC, with a uterine rupture rate of 0.63%.
- Key findings indicated that prior vaginal delivery decreased the risk of uterine rupture, while labor induction increased it; additionally, specific factors during spontaneous labor, like a low Bishop score and an arrest of cervical dilation, also heightened the risk.
Objective: Post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading preventable cause of worldwide maternal morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for psychological disorders following PPH are currently unknown. HELP-MOM study aimed to determine the incidence and identify risk factors for psychological disorders following PPH.

Methods: Data of 49 women who underwent pelvic MRI before and after UAE were retrospectively reviewed. Uterine and leiomyoma volumes, ADC values of leiomyomas, and normal myometrium were calculated before and after UAE.
Emergency hysterectomy for life-threatening postpartum haemorrhage: Risk factors and psychological impact.
Gynecol Obstet Fertil
December 2015
Background: Emergency postpartum hysterectomy (EPH) is usually considered the final resort for the management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The aim of this observational study was to identify the risk factors for EPH, to evaluate the ability of EPH to stop bleeding and, finally, to estimate its psychological impact.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of postpartum hysterectomy in all patients with PPH admitted between 2004 and 2011 to Lariboisière Hospital.
Objective: This observational, matched-control, prospective, single-centre study sought to estimate the emotional impact of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) on women and their partners, including its influences on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), postpartum depression and the mother/child relationship.
Study Design: All consecutive women who were admitted for PPH from December 2010 through December 2011 and their partners were screened for eligibility. Emotional impact was assessed using three self-reported questionnaires (Impact of Event Scale-Revised to assess PTSD, Edinburgh Post Natal Depression Scale to assess post-natal depression and Mother-Infant Bonding Scale to assess the relationship between mother and child).
