Abstract

Background: Uterine rupture is linked to high rates of maternal mortality, especially in developing countries. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the factors contributing to uterine rupture and the resulting neonatal outcomes in Sudan. Methodology: This study comprised of a series of 26 women presented with uterine rupture to the department of maternity at El-Obeid Teaching Hospital, El-Obeid, North Kordofan state, Sudan. The patients presented within one-year time. Results: In this particular group of patients, the neonatal population exhibited the following distribution: 19.2% (5 out of 26) were classified as Alive and well (WA), 23% (6 out of 26) required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), 46.2% (12 out of 26) presented with Fresh Still Birth (FSB), and 11.6% (3 out of 26) displayed manifestations of Macerated Still Birth (MSB). Conclusion: Various factors can impact the outcomes of neonates following uterine rupture, such as the availability of facilities and demographic factors. The majority of newborns delivered showed unfavorable conditions.
