Abstract |
Objective |
To investigate the predictive value of the Davey Score for striae gravidarum (SG) on the presence of pelvic adhesions at repeat cesarean delivery (CD).
Materials and methods |
The current study was a cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary university hospital between November 2016 and March 2018. All women scheduled for elective CD were included if they had at least previous one CD with pregnancy in term fetus (37–40 weeks gestation. Preoperative evaluation of SG severity using Davey score, which is a validated scoring system, was done on the examination bed. Patients with no/mild striae (score 0–2) were classified as group (I) and women with severe striae (score 3–8) were classified as group (II). During surgery, pelvic adhesions were evaluated and classified according to the Nair's scoring system. The primary outcome was the difference in the rate of pelvic adhesions between both groups.
Results |
The study included 300 women; group I included 114 women and group II included 186 women. About 90% of women with severe striae versus 82.5% of women with no/mild striae were found to have adhesions (p = 0.035). Dense adhesions were significantly present in severe striae group (57.4%) versus (41.5%) in no/mild striae group (p = 0.022). The mean Davey score in women in group (II) was significantly higher than group (I) (4.25 ± 3.36 vs. 3.09 ± 2.95, p = 0.03). Nair’s score had a significant positive moderate correlation with Davey score (r = 0.541, p = 0.016). According to the results of multivariate regression analysis, Davey score >2 was the only variable associated with increased risk of pelvic adhesions (p = 0.010).
Conclusion |
Assessment of SG score in women with previous CD using Davey score might help to predict pelvic adhesions status before planning a new surgery.
