Impact of inherited bleeding disorders on maternal bleeding and other pregnancy outcomes: A population‐based cohort study

摘要

Abstract Introduction Increasing rate of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) has been observed between 2003 and 2010 in Canada. Inherited bleeding disorders contribute to the risk of PPH. Aim To identify the trend in PPH in the last decade, assess the impact of bleeding disorders on pregnancy outcomes and evaluate their coagulation workup during pregnancy. Methods We conducted a population‐based retrospective cohort study using the Alberta Pregnancy Birth Cohort from 2010 to 2018. We included women with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and haemophilia, identified by previously validated algorithm and matched with controls. Logistic regression was used to compute odds of PPH and other pregnancy outcomes. Results We identified 311,330 women with a total of 454,400 pregnancies with live births. The rate of PPH did not change significantly from 10.13 per 100 deliveries (95 CI 10.10–10.16) in 2010–10.72 (95 CI 10.69–10.75) in 2018 (p for trend?=?.35). Women with bleeding disorders were significantly more likely to experience PPH (odds ratio OR 2.3; 95 CI 1.5–3.6), antepartum haemorrhage (OR 2.9; 95 CI 1.5–5.9) and red cell transfusion (OR 2.8; 95 CI 1.1–7.0). We observed a nonsignificant rise in the rate of PPH in women with VWD and haemophilia. Only 49.5 pregnancies with bleeding disorders had third trimester coagulation factor levels checked. Higher odds of PPH and antepartum haemorrhage were observed even with factor levels ≥0.50?IU/mL in third trimester. Conclusion Despite comprehensive care in women with bleeding disorders, they are still at higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to population controls.
