Uterine rupture was the most common indication for EPH (13\/26), and it was associated with a high maternal death rate of 15.4% (2\/13) and significantly higher perinatal deaths when compared to babies born to mothers with other indications (13\/13 (100%) versus 5\/13 (38.5%); <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.002).
