We report 386 consecutive cases of uterine rupture over a 10-year period, revealing a case fatality rate of 4.8%, which is significantly less than the 16-37% fatality rate published in the literature. Primary uterine repair, which was carried out by non-specialised doctors in 43% of cases, was the treatment for 98% of women, and appears to be simple and effective. The main predictor of death from uterine rupture was a treatment delay of more than 12 hours from the presumed time of rupture (OR 7.7; 95% CI 1.02-58.4).
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 February 2013.
All research outputs
#28,599,837
of 34,359,530 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology
#7,708
of 8,292 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#287,935
of 344,421 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology
#63
of 67 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,359,530 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,292 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.8. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,421 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 67 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
