Development and validation of a clinical prediction model for postpartum hemorrhage after elective cesarean section.
Observational study in Journal of anesthesia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposePredicting postpartum hemorrhage risk can be useful in clinical settings. We aimed to develop and validate a clinical prediction model for postpartum hemorrhage in patients who undergo elective cesarean section.
methodsThis retrospective observational study included patients who underwent elective cesarean section between January 2008 and September 2021. The primary outcome to be predicted was postpartum hemorrhage, defined as blood loss of ≥ 1500 mL during surgery. We used data prior to January 2018 for the development cohort and after for the validation cohort. We then constructed a multivariate logistic regression model. The model performance, including discrimination and calibration, was evaluated and its diagnostic ability was assessed.
resultsOf the 4070 patients, 860 (21.0%) had postpartum hemorrhage. The predictors were twin pregnancy, benign uterine disease, assisted reproduction, gestational diabetes mellitus, placenta previa, nulliparity, and neonatal weight > 3000 g. In the validation cohort, the prediction model C-statistic was 0.780 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.745-0.816). We developed a simple scoring system to divide the patients into three risk groups (low, moderate, and high). If the cut-off risk score was set to moderate, the negative likelihood ratio was low (0.221, 95% CI 0.108-0.374); conversely, if the cut-off risk score was set to high, the positive likelihood ratio was high (5.882, 95% CI 3.750-9.333).
conclusionThe model we developed can stratify the risk of postpartum hemorrhage and assist in clinical decision-making. Future studies are required to validate the performance of our model.
