A study of the healthcare resource use for the management of postpartum haemorrhage in France, Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK

Every day, almost 200 women worldwide die from bleeding complications after childbirth, known as postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) [1]. Uterine atony (insufficient uterine contraction after delivery of the placenta) is the primary cause of 58-90% of PPH cases [2 –4]. Rates of PPH are increasing in many developed countries due to increasing rates of uterine atony [5–8].
