Risk of Uterine Rupture during Labor among Women with a Prior Cesarean Delivery

Abstract

For women with one prior cesarean delivery, the risk of uterine rupture is higher among those whose labor is induced than among those with repeated cesarean delivery without labor. Labor induced with a prostaglandin confers the highest risk.
