Abstract: Apart from embolism, hemorrhage remains the commonest cause of pregnancy-related death in the U.S. This prospective observational study, conducted at 19 universities, assessed the factors associated with intraoperative and postoperative packed red blood cell transfusion in women having primary or repeat cesarean delivery in the years 1999–2000.
