TL;DR: Women with a history of severe PPH should be included as a risk factor in the development and validation of prediction models for PPH, based on the findings of this case-control study.

TL;DR: To follow trends of uterine rupture over a period of 40 years in Norway, a database of known cases and new cases is presented to help researchers better understand the causes of rupture.

TL;DR: The strongest risk factor was sequential labor induction with prostaglandins and oxytocin, compared with spontaneous labor, in those without previous cesarean delivery and those with previous cedars, and the important risk factors for complete uterine rupture in intact and scarred uteri are sequential labor induction and augmentation of labor with Oxytocin.

TL;DR: Complete uterine rupture is a rare peripartum complication that is often associated with catastrophic outcomes for both mother and child and there is a lack of accurate knowledge about its risk factors, due in part to the small size and limited knowledge.

TL;DR: To validate uterine rupture registration in the Medical Birth Registry of Norway between 1999 and 2008, and to identify rupture type and causes of incorrect or missed registration during 1967–2008.
