Incidence and Risk Factors of Postpartum Hemorrhage in Cesarean Versus Vaginal Deliveries: A Retrospective Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality globally. The mode of delivery is a known determinant of hemorrhagic risk, yet comparative data on cesarean versus vaginal deliveries remain context-specific. Objective This study aimed to determine the incidence of PPH and evaluate its associated risk factors in cesarean and vaginal births. Methods This retrospective study was conducted at Shalamar Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from April 2022 to April 2025. A total of 325 postpartum patients were enrolled in the study, comprising women who delivered either by cesarean section or vaginal delivery. Data were collected from medical records using a structured proforma, which included demographic details (age, parity, and gestational age), clinical variables (anemia status, induction of labor, duration of labor, and previous cesarean delivery), and delivery characteristics. Results The overall incidence of PPH was 19.4% (n = 63), with a significantly higher rate in cesarean deliveries (26.5%) compared to vaginal deliveries (12.3%) (p < 0.01). Uterine atony was the most frequent cause in both modes. Risk factors significantly associated with PPH included maternal anemia (p < 0.001), prolonged labor (p = 0.02), and labor induction (p = 0.01). Logistic regression identified cesarean delivery (AOR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.3-4.5), anemia (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 3.2, 95% CI: 1.7-6.0), and prolonged labor (AOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.0-3.4) as independent predictors of PPH. Conclusion Cesarean delivery, maternal anemia, and prolonged labor significantly increased the risk of PPH. Preventive strategies focusing on antenatal anemia correction, cautious decision-making regarding cesarean deliveries, and timely labor management may reduce the incidence and severity of postpartum hemorrhage.
