    "abstract": "We sought to compare adverse maternal outcomes between women with and without a uterine extension at the time of cesarean.\nWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of women with and without a uterine extension during a primary low transverse cesarean of a full-term singleton gestation. The primary outcomes were (1) estimated blood loss (EBL) and (2) composite maternal morbidity (defined as\u2009\u2265\u20091 of the following: blood transfusion, endometritis, or readmission). Pearson's chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used to compare categorical data; Student's \nThere were 252 women included (126 with extension and 126 without an extension). Women with extensions had a higher EBL (1,038 vs. 832 mL, \nUterine extensions are associated with adverse maternal outcomes including higher EBL and increase in maternal morbidity.",
