Main Findings
This study found that women who experienced an infection at their
previous CD had a significantly higher chance of uterine rupture at
their next delivery. The type of infection found to be most correlated
with uterine rupture was SSI, with endometritis being the most common
type. The least correlated was chorioamnionitis (intrapartum fever),
meaning that the timing of infection may have a decisive effect on the
risk of rupture or dehiscence.
