Introduction: The trend for second stage caesarean section (SSCS) has been rising, and it carries a high rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity. Aim: To determine the prevalence of caesarean section (CS) performed during the second stage of labour and identify maternal outcomes and associated risk factors in these women. Material and methods: This retrospective study was performed in the Hospital University Sains Malaysia (HUSM). Medical records of 207 women with singleton cephalic pregnancies at term who underwent a SSCS between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015 were reviewed, and demographic and outcome data were collected. Results and discussion: During the study period, 8,197 (19.3%) out of 42,546 babies were delivered by CS, including 257 (4.1%) SSCSs. Nearly half (49.3%) the women were nulliparous, 182 (87.9%) experienced spontaneous labour and 123 (59.4%) received oxytocin augmentation. Furthermore, 26 (12.6%) of women had post-partum haemorrhage (≥1000 mL), of whom 22 (10.6%) required blood transfusion. Only 1 (0.5%) woman was admitted to the intensive care unit postoperatively, but 163 (78.7%) had an overall hospital stay length of 3 days. Furthermore, 38 (18.4%) and 33 (15.9%) of women experienced extended uterine tear and uterine atony, respectively. Parity (P < 0.001), attempted instrumentation (P < 0.001) and baby’s weight (P < 0.004) were statistically significantly associated with total blood loss. Parity (P < 0.012) and attempted instrumentation (P < 0.001) were risk factors for extended uterine tear. Conclusions: The overall outcomes from SSCS were better compared with studies performed in other centres. Current practices must be maintained or improved to provide the best patient caree.

Objective: To analyze risk factor, both clinical and laboratory findings, associated with maternal mortality from severe preeclampsia and eclampsia in Atma Jaya Hospital. Methods: This was a retrospective case control study. All medical records of maternal death associated with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia between 1st January 2009 and 31st December 2011 were obtained and then information about risk factors were collected and tabulated. Risk factor analyzed were maternal age, gestational age, parity, coexisting medical illness (hypertension), antenatal examination status, maternal complications, systolic and diastolic blood pressure at admission, and admission laboratory data. Results: There were 19 maternal deaths associated with severe preeclampsia and eclampsia during period of study (Consisted of 6 cases of eclampsia and 13 cases of severe preeclampsia). Maternal mortality rate for severe preeclampsia and eclampsia were 16.7% and 33.3% respectively. Multivariate analysis identified the following risk factors associated with maternal death: gestation age <32 week, history of hypertension, thrombocyte count < 100.0000/μl, post partum bleeding, acute pulmonary edema, HELLP syndrome, and sepsis. Conclusion: In this study, we found that gestational age, history of hypertension, and platelet count are the cause of maternal mortality. Maternal complications associated with maternal mortality are post partum bleeding, acute pulmonary edema, HELLP syndrome, and sepsis.

Objectives: to determine which of the risk factors above associated with the occurrence of severe preeclampsia at dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya during 2015.Materials and Methods: The type and design of the study were analytic and retrospective. This study was held in the dr. Soetomo Hospital from April until November 2016. The instrument of the study was the medical records then being coded and analysed. The samples were 134 pregnant women, consisting of 67 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia as cases and 67 pregnant women as controls.Results: Maternal obesity (OR= 5,786; 95% CI: 2,300–14,555), history of hypertension (OR= 6,693; 95% CI: 1,848–24,237) and secondary elderly primi (OR= 6,384; 95% CI: 1,357–30,031) are associated with the development of severe preeclampsia.Conclusion: In conclusion, the significant risk factors of severe preeclampsia in dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya during 2015 are obesity, history of hypertension and secondary elderly primi variables.

Abstract Background Uterine rupture is one of the major obstetric complications, associated with adverse fetal and maternal outcomes including hemorrhage, genital urinary injury, low Apgar scores, fetomaternal deaths. There is a paucity of data regarding uterine rupture and its consequences among pregnant women in Mwanza, Tanzania. As a result, it is difficult to know the magnitude of the problem and formulate appropriate measures to reduce its incidence. This study was thus conducted to determine the cumulative incidence, risk factors, fetal and maternal outcomes among women with uterine rupture managed at Bugando Medical Centre (BMC), Mwanza-Tanzania.Methods This was a 5-year (2013 to 2017) retrospective descriptive study of cases of uterine rupture at BMC. The case files were collected from medical records department and maternal demographic information, clinical presentation, risk factors, interventions and feto-maternal outcomes were extracted using a checklist. Data were analyzed using STATA software version 13.Results There were 37,763 deliveries within five years. Caesarean section accounted for a quarter (n=9,136) of these deliveries. During this period 81 cases of ruptured uterus were identified, making a cumulative incidence of 2.2 cases per 1,000 deliveries. Common risk factors for uterine rupture were history of previous caesarean section 54% (n=36), obstructed labor 37% (n=25), grandmultiparity 19.4% (n=13) and use of oxytocin 21% (n=14). Maternal case fatality rate in this study was 1.5% (n=1). More than half of cases had hysterectomy while about a third (n=25) had uterine repair without bilateral tubal ligation (BTL). Over 80% (n=55) of cases required blood transfusion. Sepsis developed in 21% (n=14) of cases and vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) in 12% (n=8). Perinatal case fatality rate was 72% (n=48). Out of the 24 babies who were born alive, 37.5% (n=9) had low Apgar scores and 20.8% (n=5) died before discharge.Conclusion The leading risk factor for uterine rupture seen was previous caesarean scar and obstructed labor associated with high perinatal case fatality rate. Improvement in monitoring of patients in labor is necessary to detect early features of uterine rupture, obstructed labour and fetal compromise. This will contribute to reduced incidence of uterine rupture and improve fetomaternal outcomes.
