    "abstract": "Peripartum hysterectomy at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center was reviewed and associated risk factors were identified.\nRetrospective descriptive and cohort analysis from January 1985 to June 1990 was carried out. Adjusted relative risks for hysterectomy with 95% confidence intervals for identified risk factors were calculated where possible.\nThere were 123 cases of emergency peripartum hysterectomy (incidence of 1.3/1000 births). Indications for hysterectomy were primarily placenta accreta (n = 61), uterine atony (n = 25), unspecified uterine bleeding (n = 19), and uterine rupture (n = 14). The relative risk of emergency hysterectomy was 95.5 (95% confidence interval 66.7 to 136.9) for cesarean delivery, 10.78 (95% confidence interval 7.56 to 15.37) for prior cesarean delivery, and 97.29 (95% confidence interval 70.28 to 134.70) for placenta previa.\nCesarean delivery, prior cesarean delivery, placenta previa, placenta accreta, and uterine atony were identified risk factors for emergency peripartum hysterectomy.",
