To identify independent maternal and clinical risk factors associated with postpartum major blood component transfusion.
Conducted a case-control study analyzing 187,424 deliveries between 2011 and 2019.
Matched cases receiving postpartum major transfusions (n=246) with controls receiving 1–2 packed red blood cell units and controls receiving no transfusions based on multiple pregnancy and history of ≥3 cesarean sections.
Applied a multivariable conditional logistic regression model to isolate independent risk factors.
Major blood transfusions were administered in 246 of 187,424 deliveries (0.3%).
Independent risk factors included antenatal anemia with hemoglobin <10 g/dL (OR 12.58, 95% CI 2.86–55.25), retained placenta (OR 5.50, 95% CI 2.15–13.78), cesarean delivery (OR 10.12, 95% CI 0.93–1.95), and maternal age (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.996–1.16).
