Infertility Treatment is Associated with Peripartum Hysterectomy: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the association between infertility treatment and the risk of peripartum hysterectomy, considering factors such as placental complications, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal age, and race. The findings indicate that women who underwent infertility treatments have a higher risk of peripartum hysterectomy, particularly among certain racial and age groups, highlighting the need for increased monitoring and planning during pregnancy in this population.
