What this trial measures
- Presence of cesarean scar nicheFrom enrollment to transvaginal ultrasound, completed approximately 6-8 weeks postpartum
A dichotomous measure of the presence or absence of a cesarean scar niche, as defined by a residual myometrial thickness of \<3mm at the scar level, detected on transvaginal ultrasound. The presence of a cesarean scar niche increases risk for gynecologic complaints and abnormal placentation in subsequent pregnancies.
