Pre-Eclampsia Increases the Risk of Postpartum Haemorrhage A Nationwide Cohort Study in The Netherlands
Postpartum haemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identifying risk
indicators for postpartum haemorrhage is crucial to predict this life threatening condition. Another major contributor to
maternal morbidity and mortality is pre-eclampsia. Previous studies show conflicting results in the association between preeclampsia
and postpartum haemorrhage. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the association between
pre-eclampsia and postpartum haemorrhage. Our secondary objective was to identify other risk indicators for postpartum
haemorrhage in the Netherlands.
