Objective. Analyze the profile of women giving birth with a scarred uterus at the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville. Patients and Method. Monocentric case-control study conducted from June 1 to December 31, 2021, at the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville, comparing 88 women in labor with a single-scar cesarean uterus and 176 women in labor with a healthy non-myomatous uterus. The variables studied concerned the prepartum and peripartum periods. The p-value of the probability was considered significant for a value less than 0.05. Results. The women who gave birth with a scarred uterus were older (31 vs 28 years old; p<0.05); paucigest (OR=2.7[1.5-4.8]; p<0.05); not referred (OR=1.7[1.01-2.9]; p<0.05); followed in private clinics (OR=1.8 [1.01-3.4]; p<0.05); by obstetricians (OR=1.7[1.02-3.04]; p<0.05). They benefited the most from the prognosis of childbirth (OR=2.9[1.5-5.5]; p<0.05) and carried out the preoperative assessment (OR=3.9[1.4-11.2]; p<0.05) and the pre-anaesthetic consultation (OR=32.8 [4.2-255.2]; p<0.05). Caesarean section was the preferred delivery route (OR=1.9[1.1-3.2]; p<0.05) and prophylactically (15.6% vs 1.6%; p<0.05). The maternal prognosis was not influenced by the presence of the uterine scar. Conclusion. The profile of the mother with a scarred uterus differs from that of mothers with a healthy uterus. Prenatal contacts refocused on the scar, the prognosis of childbirth and the monitoring of labor are necessary to improve maternal prognosis.
