Background: Postpartum hemorrhage is considered a risk factor for pregnancy-associated complement-mediated hemolytic uremic syndrome (CM-HUS; previously known as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome) but has not been systematically studied.

Objectives: To systematically examine the role of postpartum hemorrhage in precipitating CM-HUS and to describe the characteristics of postpartum hemorrhage-associated CM-HUS, its prognosis and recommended management.

Methods: A systematic review of individual participant data from case series and reports in addition to a case series from our institution.

Background: Premature rupture of the membrane (PROM), refers to rupture of the fetal membranes prior to the onset of regular uterine contractions. When this occurs at term (≥ 37 weeks of gestation), it is classified as PROM, whereas if it occurs before 37 weeks, it is termed preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). PROM and PPROM are linked to adverse outcomes for both mother and newborn.

Hemorrhage risk score and peripartum quantified blood loss.

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)

November 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, NYC/H+H - South Brooklyn Health, Brooklyn, New York, USA.

Background: Risk assessment tools are used by clinicians to predict which patients might have excessive bleeding. We studied the association between a peripartum hemorrhage risk assessment score using peripartum quantified blood loss (QBL) among those with vaginal deliveries who are often at lower risk for peripartum hemorrhage.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis of 1221 patients with term vaginal deliveries at a public New York City hospital, the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWOHNN) risk assessment tool was used to categorize patients as low risk, medium risk, or high risk for postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine whether obesity without preexisting or gestational comorbidities is associated with postpartum hospital use (PHU).

Methods: We studied 2016 to 2018 birth certificate and discharge data on 178,729 New York City births without International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes at delivery for diabetes; hypertension; placental disease; anemia; thyrotoxicosis; bariatric surgery; and pulmonary, cardiac, renal, bleeding, autoimmune, digestive, neuromuscular, mental, or substance-use disorders. We defined PHU as ≥1 readmission or emergency department visit within 30 days of delivery discharge.
