Patients with placenta accreta spectrum disorders, obstetric anal sphincter injuries, or stillbirth were excluded. The primary dependent variable was type of PPH treatment administered and structured as a four\u2010level categorical variable: (1) usual care treatment including synthetic oxytocin infusion and uterine massage; (2) receipt of less aggressive medication treatment with uterotonics only; (3) receipt of more aggressive medication treatment with uterotonics only; and (4) any procedure with or without medication use. Although hysterectomy is considered a later\u2010stage procedure in the setting of PPH, patients undergoing hysterectomy were included in the procedure group because insufficient cases of hysterectomy did not allow separate grouping. Maternal sociodemographic, clinical and pregnancy factors, and delivery hospital site were compared across the four\u2010level PPH treatment categories. Bivariate analyses and crude and adjusted multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 110,690 delivery encounters, 10,829 (9.8%) had documented evidence of study\u2010defined PPH. Of these deliveries, 10,075 (93.0%) met eligibility criteria and were included in the analysis: 4941 (49.0%) received usual care treatment, 2982 (29.6%) received less aggressive medication use only, 1308 (13.0%) received more aggressive medication use only, and 844 (8.4%) underwent procedure(s) with or without medication use. There was a wide range in the number of medication types and doses received, as well as a wide spectrum of the number and types of procedures employed. Adjusted multinomial logistic regression analyses showed significant differences in patient\u2010level factors (e.g., maternal age, race and ethnicity, gestational age, placenta previa, hypertensive disorders, and in vitro fertilization [IVF]) and delivery hospital among different types of PPH management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is significant variation in the management of PPH, and differences are associated with patient\u2010level factors and delivery hospital type and region, which may be a proxy for clinical management and available resources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pmf2.70483","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T12:13:21Z","timestamp":1791375201000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Categorizing differences in postpartum hemorrhage management and associated clinical factors"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3014-5222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moeun","family":"Son","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Maternal\u2010Fetal Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Weill Cornell Medical College  New York New York USA"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisbet","family":"Lundsberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caitlin","family":"Partridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Data Analytics Team Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danna","family":"Tortal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4510-9547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heather","family":"Burris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neonatology The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics University of Pennsylvania  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7685-7524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leyla","family":"Sahin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)  Silver Spring Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Whetsel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)  Silver Spring Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2715-2293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin","family":"Dysart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neonatology The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia  Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Culhane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences Yale School of Medicine  New Haven Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e150","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000003564","article-title":"Quantitative Blood Loss in Obstetric Hemorrhage: ACOG Committee Opinion, Number 794","volume":"134","year":"2019","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1368","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0b013e3181d74898","article-title":"The Epidemiology of Postpartum Hemorrhage in a Large, Nationwide Sample of Deliveries","volume":"110","author":"Bateman B.
