Multifaceted intervention to decrease the rate of severe postpartum haemorrhage: the PITHAGORE6 cluster‐randomised controlled trial. BJOG 2010;117:1278–1287.

Objective  Decreasing the prevalence of severe postpartum haemorrhages (PPH) is a major obstetrical challenge. These are often considered to be associated with substandard initial care.

Design  Cluster‐randomised trial.

Population  106 maternity units in six French regions …
