Peripartum Hysterectomy among Patients Admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Emergency peripartum hysterectomy is a life-saving procedure performed as an emergency procedure to control torrential bleeding and it is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. There are only a few studies regarding this topic so this study guides us to monitor the trend and start appropriate policies to reduce unnecessary caesarean deliveries. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy among patients admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the tertiary care centre. Data from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2022 were collected between 25 January 2023 and 28 February 2023 from the hospital records. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of the same institute (Reference number: 2301241700). Convenience sampling was done. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 54,045 deliveries, peripartum hysterectomy was seen in 40 (0.074%) (0.05-0.10, 95% Confidence Interval). The major indication of emergency peripartum hysterectomy was abnormal placentation (placenta accreta spectrum) which was 25 (62.50%) followed by uterine atony in 13 (32.50%) of patients and uterine rupture in 2 (5%). Conclusions: The prevalence of peripartum hysterectomy was lower than in other studies done in similar settings. The indication for Emergency peripartum hysterectomy has changed in recent years from uterine atonicity to the morbidly adherent placenta which is due to a rise in the caesarean section rate. Keywords: caesarean section; hysterectomy; placenta accreta.
