Original Title: 출산 후 자궁출혈증의 치료 시술에 관한 성과분석

Authors' recommendations: Analysis of the 2008 HIRA data revealed that the incidence of PPH was about 4%, with more than 18,000 cases occurring. The vast majority of cases were treated with drugs, but approximately 500 cases were treated with either UAE or hysterectomy. The incidence of PPH increased with the age of the delivering mother. PPH was also more frequent after births that occurred in smaller hospitals. There was great variation in the treatment received after PPH and the proportions of UAE and hysterectomy varied according to the region where the PPH occurred. The cohort study of a tertiary hospital and the meta-analysis confirmed the previous reports of the safety and efficacy of UAE. Interviews with first-line providers and physicians working at hospitals capable of performing UAE suggested that the formation of a strong network between clinics/small hospitals and tertiary hospitals capable of performing UAE was critical in facilitating the use of UAE in PPH patients stable enough to receive the treatment.
