Postpartum endometritis is one of the most common infectious complications in the postpartum period. According to various authors, the incidence of endometritis after natural childbirth is 1-3%, while after cesarean section, the rate is 27% [3,5,12,13,18]. The frequency of cesarean sections in Uzbekistan has been steadily increasing from 9.58% in 1999 to 16.10% in 2019. In perinatal centers of Uzbekistan in 2017-2020. Thus, the determining of predictor factors which play huge role in the development of postpartum endometritis is relevant. In this article are given the results of scientific work which was done with 89 women who were after delivery in order to predict postpartum endometritis.
