Risk Factors for Intrauterine Tamponade Failure in Postpartum Hemorrhage

Abstract

To identify factors associated with intrauterine tamponade failure after vaginal or cesarean delivery.METHODS: This was a nationwide population-based cohort study that used data from the French Programme de Me ´dicalisation des Syste `mes d'Information. This study compared the failure and effectiveness of intrauterine tamponade among all women who received the procedure in France from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019. Failure was defined as the use of a second-line method (uterine artery embolization, conservative or radical surgery, or death) within 7 days of intrauterine tamponade. Factors associated with intrauterine tamponade failure were identified by univariate analyses and tested using multivariate generalized logistic regression models (with a random intercept on institution) to obtain adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% CI statistics.
