Implication

Analytical study identifies high prevalence of adverse maternal and foetal outcomes in women with multiple CS, highlighting ultrasound's significance.

Key Points

The study found a 31.6% prevalence of adverse maternal outcomes among women with multiple caesarean sections, pointing to significant risks.
Key predictors for adverse maternal outcomes include lack of third trimester ultrasound and emergency cesarean section, both showing substantial odds ratios.
Among the 215 women analyzed, adverse foetal outcomes occurred in 24.2%, with preterm deliveries and lack of ultrasound checkups as notable predictors.
The findings suggest that enhanced ultrasound screening could mitigate risks of adverse obstetric outcomes in this population.
