However, obstetrical cases were excluded during implementation, as the peripartum blood management protocol does not include haemoglobin determinations, matching American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommendations. For non\u2010obstetrical surgery, intraoperative transfusion is associated with an increased probability of postpartum transfusion. Because of the obstetrical transfusion approach, we hypothesized the opposite relationship between intrapartum and postpartum transfusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The retrospective cohort study included all 30\u2009160 patients who delivered at the University of Iowa January 2013 through March 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Any RBC administration during anaesthesia care reduced the odds of later transfusion (odds ratio 0.14, 99% confidence interval (CI) 0.11%\u20130.18%). Single\u2010unit RBC administration during anaesthesia reduced such odds (0.09, 99% CI 0.06%\u20130.11%), as did multiple\u2010unit transfusion (0.18, 99% CI 0.13%\u20130.24%).
