This research investigates how hospital factors affect the risks associated with peripartum hysterectomy and maternal mortality.
Analyzed women undergoing peripartum hysterectomy during cesarean delivery using a quality database.
Hospitals were categorized by procedure volume into tertiles and compared using generalized estimating equations.
Outcomes included intraoperative, perioperative, postoperative complications, ICU use, and maternal mortality rates.
Maternal mortality rate was 1.2% among 2,209 women studied.
High-volume hospitals showed 71% lower perioperative mortality (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.10-0.88).
Patients in high-volume hospitals had fewer surgical complications (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.47-0.93) and reduced ICU usage (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.34-0.83).
