Predictors of postpartum hemorrhage in vaginal deliveries

In this study we aimed to identify the risk factors for acute postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women. We investigated a number of potential factors, including maternal age, gestational parity, birth weight, single or multiple pregnancies, episiotomy, tears requiring vaginal perineal suturing, and placental retention. Data from 1628 deliveries performed 2019 2020 were included. The age ranged between 18 41 years, with mean 26.6±3.2 years. average blood loss was 234.4±229.7 ml. Among traditionally delivered patients, 309 (18.9%) experienced standard while 27 (1.65%) had severe loss. Retained placenta major factor both (OR=4.31, 95% CI 1.85-10.04, p<0.001 vs OR=10.25, 2.13-49.2, p<0.01). Similarly pregnancy, macrosomia as well episiotomy associated any hemorrhage. Women previous history low weight neonates less likely experience (OR=0.69, 0.54-0.90, p=0.006 OR=0.54, 0.29-0.97, p=0.04). Risk variables macrosomia, retained placenta, necessity suture.
