Racial disparities in maternal blood transfusion in the United States by mode of delivery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite well-documented racial disparities in maternal health in the United States, gaps remain in characterizing the distribution of these disparities in maternal blood transfusion.

Objective

To assess racial disparities in maternal blood transfusion using detailed, self-identified racial groupings in the United States overall and stratified by mode of delivery.

Study design

We performed a population-based, retrospective cohort study of full term, live births (2016-2021) using the National Vital Statistics System's Natality Files. Regression models were constructed to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of maternal blood transfusion by self-identified maternal race in the total population, and among subgroups stratified
