Their mean body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) was 27.4 (\u00b16.5, 16.3\u201357.8). The median parity was (2, 0\u20137), with an average estimated blood loss (EBL) of 2137\u2009mL (\u00b1938\u2009mL, 500\u20135620). The mean length of time intrauterine balloons were in\u00a0situ was 16.3\u2009h (\u00b17.5, 0\u201351). The mean additional blood loss at removal was 92\u2009mL\u2009\u00b1\u2009152.9. There was a positive correlation between EBL at delivery and the length of time the intrauterine balloon was left in\u00a0situ (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20092.67,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01).
