Journal Article
Maternal Race and Clinical Vigilance in Obstetric Hemorrhage Management
2025
Overview
Background/Objectives: Previous literature has described that non-white pregnant patients are at increased risk of severe morbidity from obstetric hemorrhage (OBH). Here, we investigate whether such disparities are secondary to delay in the administration of postpartum oxytocin for non-white patients compared to white patients. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of all deliveries from 2018 to 2019, comparing (1) Hispanic white or non-white race (HW/NWR) pregnant people and (2) non-Hispanic white (NHW) pregnant people. Our primary outcome was the time from delivery to the first dose of postpartum oxytocin, and our secondary outcome was the frequency of other hemorrhage interventions. Results: Out of 3832 patients with self-identified race and ethnicity recorded in their patient record, 644 patients identified as NHW, and 3188 patients identified as HW/NWR. We found no difference in time to first dose of postpartum oxytocin (p = 0.51), and there was also no difference in the frequency of other hemorrhage-related interventions. Conclusions: Our study found no delay in the administration of postpartum oxytocin for non-white patients.
