Case control study on determinants of emergency peripartum hysterectomy among mothers managed at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital.

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
backgroundPeripartum hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus during a cesarean section, after vaginal delivery, or during puerperium. It is usually performed as a life-saving emergency during abnormal placentation, hemorrhage, or uterine rupture. It has a substantial role in the prevention of maternal mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to identify the determinants of emergency peripartum hysterectomy at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia.
methodsA hospital-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted among 66 cases and 198 controls with a case-to-control ratio of 1:3 in HUCSH from September 2018 GC to September 2022 GC. A pre-tested checklist was used, and data was collected using the ODK (open data kit). The data was downloaded, exported to XLS and imported to SPSS Version 26 for further analysis. The association between independent variables and peripartum hysterectomy was estimated using an odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. The statistical significance of the association was declared at a P-value < 0.05.
resultsThe results showed that women with parity ≥ 5 times [AOR: 3.34), 95%CI: (1.17–9.49], previous cesarean section history [AOR = 3.15, 95%CI: (1.26–7.89], labor abnormality[AOR = 4.54, 95%CI: (1.87–11.01], post-partum hemorrhage [AOR = 5.63, 95%CI: (2.07–15.3)]and fetal mal-presentation [AOR = 4.75, 95%CI: (1.48–15.31)] were associated with emergency peripartum hysterectomy.
conclusionIn this study, grand multiparity, history of cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, labor abnormality, and fetal malpresentation were factors that significantly increased the odds of undergoing peripartum hysterectomy. So, improvement in the intrapartum and postpartum quality of obstetric care delivered is recommended.
