Poisson regression was used to identify risk factors for red cell transfusion in the birth admission.

The transfusion rate increased steadily from 1.2% in 2001 to 1.6% in 2010. The majority of transfusions (91%) occurred during the birth admission, and 81% of these transfusions were associated with a diagnosis of hemorrhage. Women with bleeding or platelet disorders (vaginal: number transfused 529, relative risk [RR] 7.8, 99% confidence interval [CI] 6.9\u20138.7, cesarean: n=592, RR 8.7, CI 7.7\u20139.7) and placenta previa: (vaginal n=73, RR 4.6, CI 3.4\u20136.3, cesarean: n=875, RR 5.7, CI 5.1\u20136.4) were at highest risk of transfusion. Among vaginal births, increased risk was evident for forceps (n=1,036, RR 2.8, CI 2.5\u20133.0) or vacuum births (n=1,073, RR 1.9, CI 1.7\u20132.0) compared with nonoperative births.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Rates of obstetric blood product transfusion have increased by 33% since 2001, with the majority of this associated with hemorrhage.
