Abstract
The world’s leading cause of maternal mortality is postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), which accounts for one third of all maternal deaths worldwide. Aim of the Study was early identification of risk factors of primary postpartum hemorrhage. Research Design: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilized. Subject and Methods: The study was carried out over a period of six months in obstetrics and gynecology department at Minia University Hospital for Obstetric and Pediatric. Tools for Data Collection: two tools were used; Tool I: Socio-demographic characteristics, and Tool II: Risk factors assessment tools. Results: The study revealed that study group had low risk factors of current PPH as (previous uterine incision, History of PPH), moderate risk factors of current PPH in women as (prior cesarean birth or prior uterine incision, History of one previous PP), high risk factors of current PPH in women (had two or more moderate symptoms of risk factors, platelets level <100,000/mm3, hematocrit level <30, placenta previa and suspected placenta accretes) with statistically significance differences. Conclusion: previous uterine incision, previous PPH, abnormality in platelet level, hematocrit level and coagulopathy were the most significant risk factors for primary PPH. Recommendation: Encourage regular antenatal visit to determine risk factors groups, reduce mortality and morbidity rate and provide females’ knowledge about PPH risk.
