A high HEMSTOP bleeding score is a major independent risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a common yet potentially serious complication of delivery. Recently, the HEMSTOP bleeding score has emerged as a tool for detecting preoperative inherited bleeding disorders. Our objective is to investigate its relevance within the obstetrical context for predicting PPH occurrences among unselected pregnant women.

Methods

Prospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary maternity hospital between 2014 and 2016 including women without any known bleeding disorder nor antithrombotic therapy who completed the HEMSTOP questionnaire before delivery. Primary outcome was primary PPH ≥ 500 mL following delivery. We studied the bleeding score ranging from zero to seven both as a continuous and an ordinal variable. We used multivariable analysi
