What is Cesarean Scar Defects and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis about?
## Objective: To synthesize the published literature to better understand the association between cesarean scar defects (csds) and abnormal uterine bleeding (aub). in particular, we aimed to evaluate the risk and pattern(s) of csd-associated aub in addition to exploring the relationship between defect morphology with bleeding symptoms. ## Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. ## Setting: Not applicable. ## Patients: Patients with csd and reports of uterine bleeding as an outcome were identified in 60 studies from database searches. ## Interventions: Studies that investigated csd (as defined by investigators) and reported uterine bleeding, menstrual bleeding, or aub as an outcome were included. ## Main outcome measures: The prevalence and risk of aub (intermenstrual, postmenstrual, and unscheduled bleeding) in patients with confirmed csd. ## Results: Nine studies reported on the prevalence of aub in patients with a confirmed csd. patients with csd were more likely to experience aub, compared with those without csd (relative risk, 3.47; 95% confidence interval [ci], 2.02-5.97; 6 studies, 1,385 patients; i = 67%). in a population of patients with at least 1 cesarean delivery, t
