A total of 198 periparturient does presented to 9 university veterinary hospitals from October 2021 to June 2022.

Methods

Multicenter, cross-sectional study, with data collected from questionnaires completed by attending veterinarians. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with diagnosis of uterine tears.
