OBJECTIVE: To assess whether, after induction of labor with prostaglandin, multiparous (≥2 para) women have an increased risk of uterine rupture compared with nulliparous or uniparous women.

METHODS: This was a retrospective population-based cohort study including women who underwent induction with prostaglandin in all maternity wards in Sweden between May 1996 and December 2019 (n = 56 784). The study cohort was obtained by using data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, which contains information from maternity and delivery records. The main outcome measure was uterine rupture.

RESULTS: Overall, multiparous women induced with prostaglandin had an increased risk of uterine rupture compared with nulliparous women (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 3.33 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.38-8.04]; P < 0.007). Multiparous women with no previous cesarean section (CS) induced with prostaglandin had more than three times higher risk of uterine rupture (crude OR, 3.55 [95% Cl, 1.48-8.53]; P = 0.005) compared with nulliparous women and four times higher risk compared with uniparous women (OR, 4.10 [95% CI, 1.12-15.00]; P < 0.033). Multiparous women with previous CS had a decreased risk of uterine rupture compared with uniparous women with one previous CS (crude OR, 0.41 [95% Cl, 0.21-0.78]; P = 0.007).

CONCLUSION: Our study implies that multiparity in women with no previous CS is a risk factor for uterine rupture when induced with prostaglandin. This should be taken into consideration when deciding on the appropriate method of induction.
