Based on 14 cases observed during 230 deliveries of women with previous caesarian sections, the authors attempt in define those factors that may weaken hysterotomy scars and provoke uterine rupture. Factors at risk are defined, and can be assessed from the medical history (parity, number of previous caesarians, period since last section, postoperative fever, placenta praevia as the indication for a caesarian, curettage after the operation), and the clinical findings during the present pregnancy (height of the uterus, placenta praevia). Hysterography is an excellent means of evaluating the state of cicatrisation, but this investigational method is rarely available. These elements are employed the define the attitude of the authors towards the end of a previous caesarian. They emphasize the need for early diagnosis of a rupture, and the validity of early emergency caesarian section. Any delay can considerably after fetal and maternal prognosis, which remains goods in the authors' experience.

Article Synopsis
- The integration of AI into obstetric care has the potential to significantly improve clinical decision-making and maternal and neonatal outcomes compared to traditional prediction methods.
- A systematic review of 18 studies from January 2010 to July 2024 evaluated AI applications in predicting the mode of delivery, showing that AI models achieved high accuracy rates (over 90%) and outperformed traditional methods.
- Key predictors for delivery mode included factors like maternal age and fetal weight, with notable AI models such as the Adana System and CatBoost demonstrating enhanced prediction capabilities, while future research should aim to standardize data collection in this field.
