Use of Uterine Tamponade and Interventional Radiology Procedures During Delivery Hospitalizations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterize use of uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures in a large administrative database. The primary outcomes were temporal trends in these procedures 1) during deliveries, 2) by hospital volume, and 3) before hysterectomy for uterine atony or delayed postpartum hemorrhage. Three 3-year periods were analyzed: 2006-2008, 2009-2011, and 2012-2014. Risk of morbidity in the setting of hysterectomy with uterine tamponade and interventional radiology procedures as the primary exposures was additionally analyzed in adjusted models.

Results

The study included 5,383,486 deliveries, which involved 6,675 uterine tamponade procedures, 1,199 in
