    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore whether fibrinogen (Fib) can be used as a predictor of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in parturients with vaginal delivery, and the value of combining Fib with other indexes to predict postpartum hemorrhage in vaginal delivery. METHODS: A total of 207 parturients who delivered via vagina were divided into PPH group (n=102) and non-PPH group (n=105). The PPH group was further divided into mild PPH group and severe PPH group. The differences of Fib, platelet (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), D-dimer (D-D), hemoglobin (HGB) and neonatal weight (Nw) between the two groups were compared to explore the significance of these indexes in predicting PPH. RESULTS: Fib, PLT and PDW in PPH group were significantly lower than those in non-PPH group, while D-D and Nw in PPH group were significantly higher than those in non-PPH group. In the binary logistic regression model, we found that Fib, D-D and Nw were independently related to PPH. The risk of PPH increased by 9.87 times for every 1 g/L decrease in Fib. The cut-off value of Fib is 4.395 (sensitivity 0.705, specificity 0.922). The AUC value of PPH predicted by Fib combined with D-D and Nw was significantly higher than that of PPH predicted by Fib (p<0.05, 95 % CI 0.00313-0.0587). CONCLUSIONS: Fib, D-D and Nw have good predictive value for PPH of vaginal delivery, among which Fib is the best. The combination of three indexes of Fib, D-D and Nw can predict PPH more systematically and comprehensively, and provide a basis for clinical prevention and treatment of PPH.
