Andrea H. L. Bruning,Hanna M. Heller,Noera Kieviet,Petra C.A.M. Bakker,Christianne J.M. de Groot,Koert M. Dolman,Adriaan Honig +6 more
TL;DR: The existing evidence remains inconclusive whether use of antidepressants during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and if there is such an association the absolute increased risk will be low and the clinical relevance needs to be further examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between uterine leiomyoma and placenta abruption: A meta-analysis.
TL;DR: It is shown that uterine leiomyoma is a risk factor for placenta abruption, based on reports in observational studies, and using odds ratio estimate with its 95% confidence intervals using a random-effects model.

The incidence, aetiology, and coagulation management of massive postpartum haemorrhage: a two-year national prospective cohort study.
Sarah F. Bell,R. E. Collis,Christopher Bailey,Kathryn James,Miriam John,Kevin Kelly,Thomas Kitchen,Cerys Scarr,Elinore Macgillivray,Peter William Collins +9 more
TL;DR: In Wales, the use of VHA in cases of massive PPH increased over time, enabling clinicians to adopt a targeted, patient-specific approach to blood product administration, with only 22.9% of women receiving blood coagulation products and 17.1% having a documented clotting abnormality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postpartum hemorrhage following vaginal delivery: risk factors and maternal outcomes.
TL;DR: Although PPH-related morbidity may be uncommon after vaginal delivery, PPH should be anticipated for women after a second stage ⩾3 h, according to a retrospective case–control study.

TL;DR: Clinicians should be more vigilant given the possibility that the frequency and severity of PPH has in fact increased, and training should be provided to all staff involved in maternity care concerning assessment of blood loss and the monitoring of women after childbirth.

The Epidemiology of Postpartum Hemorrhage in a Large, Nationwide Sample of Deliveries
TL;DR: PPH caused by uterine atony resulting in transfusion often occurs in the absence of recognized risk factors and is associated with substantial maternal morbidity and mortality.

Trends in postpartum hemorrhage: United States, 1994-2006.
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to estimate the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in the United States and to assess trends, showing an apparent increase in PPH caused by uterine atony.
Deaths: final data for 2004.
TL;DR: Mortality patterns in 2004 were consistent with long-term trends, and life expectancy in 2004 increased again to a new record level and the age-adjusted death rate declined to a record low historical figure.
