Assessing postnatal uterine involution: a review and a challenge

E Montgomery et al. Midwifery. 1994 Jun.

Abstract

Objective: to examine the literature relating to the assessment of postnatal uterine involution.

Literature review: the following databases were searched--Cumulated Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, Excerpta Medica (Obstetrics & Gynaecology), MIDIRS.

Key conclusions: no evidence was found that any form of anthropometric assessment of uterine involution in the early postnatal period has either preventative or predictive value. Research on this topic is long overdue.
