Abstract
Aim. To conduct a comparative assessment of the main parameters of hemostasis before delivery in patients with refractory postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and without PPH.
Design. A retrospective case — control study (copy — pair 1 : 3).
Materials and methods. The study included 55 patients with refractory PPH (main group) and 165 women without PPH (control group). The level of hemoglobin, platelets and hematocrit were determined on a hematology analyzer Mindray BC-6800 Plus based on SF Cube technology, the level of fibrinogen and activated partial thromboplastin time — on an automatic hemostasis analyzer SYSMEX CS-1600 based on multiwave analysis technology. The volume of blood loss was estimated gravimetrically. The obtained data were analyzed and visualized using the Python programming language version 3 and the pandas, scipy.stats, matplotlib.pyplot libraries.
Results. Blood loss during delivery in the main group was significantly higher than in the control group and amounted to 1478.18 (679.78) and 462.12 (209.32) ml, respectively (p < 0.001). The fibrinogen level before delivery in women with refractory PPH was statistically significantly lower compared to the control group: 3.9 (3.3; 4.5) and 4.4 (3.9; 4.96) g/l, respectively (p = 0.002). Other hemostasis parameters did not have statistically significant differences between the groups.
Conclusion. In patients with refractory PPH, the fibrinogen level was statistically significantly lower than in women without this complication. A fibrinogen level of less than 3.95 g/L may be a predictor of refractory PPH (AUC 95% CI: 0.65 (0.55; 0.75)).
