Extract
Some half a million women die annually across the world from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Approximately one-quarter of these deaths are caused by complications of the third stage of labour, mainly postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). In the developing world, the risk of maternal death from PPH is approximately one in 1000 deliveries. In the United Kingdom the risk of maternal death from obstetric haemorrhage is about 0.39 in 100000 deliveries.
