They died in the intensive care unit (ICU) from hypovolaemic shock, subsequent disseminated intravascular coagulation and multi-organ failure-secondary to placenta praevia (n=1), PPH at caesarean section for fetal distress and
cephalopelvic disproportion (with no other risk factors, n=2), and caesarean section for abruptio placentae (n=1).
The inclusion criteria covered all full-term pregnant women who were admitted to the labor ward for vaginal delivery, whereas the exclusion criteria consisted of inaccurate gestational age, placenta previa, cord prolapse, previous cesarean section, preterm birth, suspected
