Patterns of Second-Line Uterotonic Use in a Large Sample of Hospitalizations for Childbirth in the United States: 2007 - 2011
TL;DR: Hospital-level patterns of second-line uterotonic use in a large, nationwide sample of admissions for childbirth in the United States are described and studies aimed at defining the optimal pharmacologic strategies for the management of uterine atony are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hospital delivery volume, severe obstetrical morbidity, and failure to rescue.
TL;DR: Although low-and high-delivery volume are associated with increased risk for both failure to rescue and severe maternal morbidity, other factors, in particular characteristics of individual centers, may be more important in the determination of outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
