In this prospective study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive factors for massive hemorrhage in women with RPOC. The primary and secondary endpoints were to validate the usefulness of power Doppler color scoring (PDCS) in evaluating hypervascularity and to identify other predictive factors (such as maximum RPOC diameter and serum \u03b2hCG and Hb level at first visit), respectively. Among the 51 women with RPOC included in this study, 16 (31.5%) experienced massive hemorrhage during follow-up. None of the women with PDCS 1 or 2 (18) experienced massive hemorrhage, whereas 16 (48.5%) women with PDCS 3 or 4 (33) did. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio [95% confidence interval] (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> value) for PDCS, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and low serum hemoglobin (Hb) levels were 22.39 [2.25\u2009\u2212\u20093087.92] (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004), 5.72 [1.28\u2009\u2212\u200933.29] (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.022), and 4.24 [0.97\u2009\u2212\u200922.99] (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.056), respectively. Further, the decision tree method identified PDCS, ART, and low serum Hb levels as potential predictive factors for massive hemorrhage. This study identified PDCS as useful predictor of massive hemorrhage in women with RPOC. With additional inclusion of factors such as ART and low serum Hb levels, the risk of massive hemorrhage may be effectively evaluated, leading to better management of women of reproductive age.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-15564-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]],"date-time":"2022-07-13T10:03:19Z","timestamp":1657706599000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predictive factors for massive hemorrhage in women with retained products of conception: a prospective study"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Reina","family":"Sonehara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomoko","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akira","family":"Iwase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuki","family":"Nishida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sachiko","family":"Takikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mayuko","family":"Murakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sayako","family":"Yoshita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayako","family":"Muraoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natsuki","family":"Miyake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natsuki","family":"Nakanishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satoko","family":"Osuka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maki","family":"Goto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroaki","family":"Kajiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"15564_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"781","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.333125177","volume":"33","author":"MA Sellmyer","year":"2013","unstructured":"Sellmyer, M.
