Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal death and morbidity. Moreover, it also contributes to psychological trauma such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM) defines this morbidity as an unintended outcome in the birthing process that may have significant short-term and long-term consequences to an individual's health. A recent study in 2018 developed core outcomes set for PPH through Delphi consensus encompassing elements of prevention and management of PPH. Patient-reported outcomes, breastfeeding, and overall sense of wellbeing were not included in the final outcome set. Nevertheless, investigators felt strongly that they should be included, but further work was needed to assess the factors influencing the quality of recovery in the context of PPH. This is aligned with increasing recognition that patient experiences are important to improving the quality of care and quality of recovery after Cesarean delivery. The most effective, i.e. validated tool for assessing postpartum recovery is the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (Obs-QoR-10). However its application in patients with PPH remains unexplored. It would appear logical that patient experiencing PPH experience a potentially more challenging recovery process which may include more surgical complications, depressive symptoms, sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion and stress due …
