Development of a prognostic scoring system for predicting hospitalization duration in postpartum endometritis.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2024. 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
backgroundWe aim to identify risk factors contributing to extended rehospitalizations in patients diagnosed with postpartum endometritis requiring intravenous antibiotics.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study examined postpartum endometritis patients readmitted for treatment from 2014 to 2022, comparing short (≤ 48 h) and prolonged hospitalization (> 48 h). Data included patient demographics, medical history, presentation parameters, vaginal examination findings, sonographic data, laboratory results, and details of the current labor to create a scoring system predicting prolonged hospitalization risk.
resultsDuring the study, 270 women with postpartum endometritis were hospitalized. Among them, 61 (22.6%) had hospital stays ≤ 48 h, while 209 (77.4%) experienced hospitalization > 48 h. Upon readmission, compared to the group with short stays, patients in the > 48 h group exhibited significantly elevated heart rates (97.9 ± 18.3 vs. 89.7 ± 12.9 bpm; p < 0.002) and CRP levels (13.8 ± 9.8 mg/dL vs. 8.1 ± 7 mg/dL; p < 0.001), respectively. Ultrasound revealed higher rates of pelvic hematoma or abscess in the > 48 h group (35.4% vs. 13.1%, respectively; p = 0.02). Multivariable logistic regression identified independent associations between hospitalization > 48 h and rupture of membranes > 14.5 h adjusted odds ratio (aOR 1.29, 95% CI 0.16-0.6, p = 0.016), temperature > 37.25 °C at readmission (aOR 1.31, 95% CI 0.013-0.42, p < 0.001), and CRP > 6.5 mg/dL at readmission (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 0.09-0.4, p = 0.002). A predictive scoring system was developed, indicating risks for prolonged hospitalization from 0.5 to 0.8.
conclusionThe scoring system developed to predict prolonged hospitalization in postpartum endometritis can provide clinicians with valuable insights for improved diagnosis and prognosis.
