Inter-pregnancy interval and uterine rupture during a trial of labour after one previous caesarean delivery and no previous vaginal births: a retrospective population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Short interpregnancy interval (IPI) following caesarean delivery is associated with uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies. However, the interval required to minimise this risk is unknown. We investigated how the interval between pregnancies and induction or augmentation of labour affect the likelihood of uterine rupture among parturients with one previous livebirth by caesarean delivery who had a subsequent trial of labour.

Methods

In this population-based cohort study, we used data from U.S National Vital Statistics System from 2011 to 2021. Multiple pregnancies and births of infants with congenital abnormalities were excluded. A linear spline logistic regression with one knot was used to assess the relationship between uterine rupture and interpregnancy inte
