ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking to understand bleeding disorders in women who had severe postpartum hemorrhage, which means they lost a lot of blood (more than 1,000 mL) after giving birth vaginally. If you’re a woman aged 18 or older who experienced this type of bleeding within the last year in a maternity unit in Finistère, you may qualify to participate in the study. However, if you are currently pregnant, have a known bleeding disorder, or take certain medications that affect blood clotting, you wouldn’t be able to join.
Participants in this study will help researchers identify any bleeding disorders that may not have been diagnosed after experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, those who qualify can expect to contribute to important research that may improve care for future mothers facing similar challenges. It's also important to know that the study is limited to women who are part of the French social security system.
