The frequency of postpartum hemorrhage in women with different somatotypes

The aim of the study was to study the frequency of postpartum hemorrhage in women with different somatotypes and to develop a method for predicting the risk of this pathology. Materials and methods . 390 women were examined, 110 were mаcrosomatotype, 173 – mesosomatotype, and 107 – microsomatotype. Somatometry was performed according to R.N. Dorokhov for women in early pregnancy (before 9-10 weeks of gestation). Results. It was found that postpartum hemorrhage was significantly more prevalent among the women of macro-and microsomatic body type compared with women with mesosomatotypes (p < 0.05). In the course of multiple regression analysis, we obtained a regression equation (formula) for predictive models, which predicts the development of postpartum hemorrhage in women of different somatotypes. The calculations according to the presented formula, allows to predict with high accuracy the prognosis of postpartum bleeding, and also allows to form among patients a high-risk group for the development of this disease in the first trimester of pregnancy when the pregnant woman is registered in the women’s consultation, long before delivery, which will contribute to more effective implementation of therapeutic and preventive measures to prevent the development of postpartum bleeding.
