Abstract
Objective To investigate whether prenatal fibrinogen (FIB) or other related factors could be utilized to evaluate the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Methods A retrospective study was conducted in a database from January 2015 to December 2019. A total of 128 patients were enrolled and evaluated with FIB, in which 55 patients were assigned to low FIB and 73 in normal FIB. Results According to the volume of blood loss, the mean of the low FIB group (<4 g/L) was markedly higher than that of the normal FIB group (≥4 g/L). Prenatal FIB was negatively correlated with PPH volume. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve results indicated that the value of prenatal FIB was 0.701 to predict refractory PPH. Conclusions Prenatal FIB was significantly related to thrombin time (TT), which may be an independent factor to predict the coagulation state of prenatal pregnancy.
