Emergency peripartum hysterectomy in Isfahan; maternal mortality and morbidity rates among the women who underwent peripartum hysterectomy.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Peripartum hysterectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We determined the factors leading to and maternal mortality and morbidity rates among the women whose underwent peripartum hysterectomy in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This case-series study was conducted from March 2004 to March 2009 in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at two central university hospitals (Azahra hospital and Shahid Beheshti Hospital) in Isfahan. Forty one women among 29,444 deliveries underwent peripartum hysterectomy. Women who had delivery before 24 weeks and a hysterectomy for other reasons like sterilizations were excluded. Incidence, indications and maternal complications including maternal death and urological, infectious and wound complications were evaluated after operation. RESULTS:During the study period, the incidence of peripartum hysterectomy estimated about 1.39 per 1,000 deliveries. The maternal mortality rate was 17.07%. There was no statistical difference in mortality rates between referrals and non-referrals women (P = 0.6). Post-operative complications included infection (22%), bladder injuries (7.3%), urine retention (4.8%) and wound dehiscence (4.87%). The main indication was placenta accreta 28 (68.3%). CONCLUSION:This study indicated the high rate of mortality among patients underwent peripartum hysterectomy. Evaluation of management during referring the patients and designing more studies to evaluate the mortality and morbidities are warranted.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Peripartum hysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed for severe obstetric complications such as major obstetric hemorrhage. The prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy in high-resource settings is relatively low. Hence, international comparisons and studying indications and associations with mode of birth rely on the use of national obstetric survey data. Objectives were to calculate the prevalence and indications of peripartum hysterectomy and its association with national cesarean section rates and mode of birth in nine European countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We performed a descriptive, multinational, population-based study among women who underwent peripartum hysterectomy. Data were collected from national or multiregional databases from nine countries participating in the International Network of Obstetric Survey Systems. We included hysterectomies performed from 22 gestational weeks up to 48 hours postpartum for obstetric hemorrhage, as this was the most restrictive, overlapping case definition between all countries. Main outcomes were prevalence and indications of peripartum hysterectomy. Additionally, we compared prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy between women giving birth vaginally and by cesarean section, and between women giving birth with and without previous cesarean section. Finally, we calculated correlation between prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy and national cesarean section rates, as well as national rates of women giving birth after a previous cesarean section. RESULTS:A total of 1302 peripartum hysterectomies were performed in 2 498 013 births, leading to a prevalence of 5.2 per 10 000 births ranging from 2.6 in Denmark to 10.7 in Italy. Main indications were uterine atony (35.3%) and abnormally invasive placenta (34.8%). Relative risk of hysterectomy after cesarean section compared with vaginal birth was 9.1 (95% CI 8.0-10.4). Relative risk for hysterectomy for birth after previous cesarean section compared with birth without previous cesarean section was 10.6 (95% CI 9.4-12.1). A strong correlation was observed between national cesarean section rate and prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy (ρ = 0.67, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS:Prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy may vary considerably between high-income countries. Uterine atony and abnormally invasive placenta are the commonest indications for hysterectomy. Birth by cesarean section and birth after previous cesarean section are associated with nine-fold increased risk of peripartum hysterectomy.

Project description:ImportanceOver the past 2 decades, there has been a trend toward increasing maternal age in many high-income countries. Maternal age may lead to greater attendant morbidity and mortality for Canadian mothers.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of maternal age, adjusting for patient-level and hospital-level factors, with severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and maternal death in Canada.Design, setting, and participantsA nationwide population-based cohort study of all antepartum, peripartum, and postpartum women and adolescents seen at Canadian acute care hospitals from April 1, 2004, to March 31, 2015. All analyses were completed on September 13, 2018.ExposuresMaternal age at the index delivery.Main outcomes and measuresSevere maternal morbidity and maternal death during pregnancy and within 6 weeks after termination of pregnancy.ResultsDuring the study period, there were 3?162?303 new pregnancies (mean [SD] maternal age, 29.5 [5.6] years) and 3?533?259 related hospital admissions. There were 54?219 episodes of SMM (17.7 cases per 1000 deliveries) in the entire study period, with a 9.8% relative increase from 2004-2005 to 2014-2015, in addition to an increasing proportion of pregnancies to older mothers. Independent patient-level factors associated with SMM included increasing Maternal Comorbidity Index; maternal age 19 years or younger and 30 years or older, with the greatest risk experienced by women 45 years or older (odds ratio [OR], 2.69; 95% CI, 2.34-3.06 compared with maternal age 20-24 years); and lowest income quintile (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.14-1.22 compared with highest income quintile). Hospital-level factors associated with SMM included specific provinces. Independent patient-level factors associated with maternal mortality included increasing Maternal Comorbidity Index, age 40 to 44 years (OR, 3.39; 95% CI, 1.68-6.82 compared with age 20-24 years), age 45 years or older (OR, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.01-19.10 compared with age 20-24 years), and lowest income quintile (OR, 4.14; 95% CI, 2.03-8.50 compared with highest income quintile). Hospital-level factors associated with maternal mortality included lowest hospital pregnancy volume.Conclusions and relevanceIn Canada, maternal age and SMM have increased over the past decade. Results of this study suggest that province of residence, maternal comorbidity, residence income quintile, and extremes of maternal age, especially those 45 years or older, were associated with SMM and mortality. These findings are relevant to prospective parents, their health care team, and public health planning.
