Identifying the effect of inherited bleeding disorders on the development of postpartum hemorrhage: a population-based, retrospective cohort study.

Background: Women with inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs) are at an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). However, the impact of other maternal predelivery risk factors, including anemia, on the association between IBD and maternal bleeding remains poorly understood. Additionally, studies examining potential pathways linking IBD and PPH are limited.

Determining the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage among Ontario women with and without inherited bleeding disorders: A population-based cohort study.

Introduction: At a population level, there is a poor understanding of the incidence and pre-disposing risk factors of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) among women with inherited bleeding disorders (IBD).

Aim: To determine the incidence of PPH, and identify maternal factors associated with risk of PPH among women with IBD.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data housed within ICES (formerly known as the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences).
