Retrospective analysis highlights rising maternal mortality from obstetric hemorrhage caused by surgical injuries during cesarean sections, suggesting intervention is necessary.
( Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand . 2024;103(9):1877-1887. doi: 10.1111/aogs.14917) A leading cause of global maternal mortality is obstetric hemorrhage (PPH), with many deaths deemed preventable. However, trends show the number of maternal deaths due to PPH continue to rise, emphasizing the need for global intervention to improve outcomes. Causes of PPH vary and include uterine atony and surgical injury, though previous literature has overwhelmingly focused on uterine atony. This study was a nationwide retrospective analysis of maternal deaths due to PPH caused by surgical injury during cesarean delivery (CD), describing the clinical profile, management, potential preventability, and care factors involved.
