Strengths and weakness
This study is the largest to date on pregnancies after previous rupture among the whole population of a single country. Previous studies were mainly collections of reports from different countries. Our study included pregnancies after all types of previous ruptures, making the results more comprehensive. However, the data covered several periods of time and, therefore, different obstetric practices. This may have affected the rate and outcomes of repeat rupture. Because of the rarity of women getting pregnant after uterine ruptures, we collected cases covering 44 years. Nonetheless, cases were still few, allowing only for descriptive statistical analysis.
