Research agenda for ending preventable maternal deaths from postpartum haemorrhage: a WHO research prioritisation exercise.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal death. Yet there is a lack of clarity around what research is needed to determine what works and how best to deliver proven PPH interventions. This article describes a WHO-led effort to develop a global PPH research agenda for 2023-2030, to reinvigorate research and innovation while avoiding duplication and waste.

Methods

Potential questions were culled from evidence gaps in a forthcoming Lancet PPH series, a pipeline analysis on PPH medicines and devices, international PPH guidelines, previous research prioritisation efforts and submissions from a reference group of PPH experts and stakeholders. Questions were deduplicated and consolidated, categorised into three tracks (innovation, implementati
