Introduction: The measurement technique of blood loss for all vaginal deliveries used in this trial was the direct method with a calibrate receptacle. Using data collected as part of this study, we identified risk factors for immediate post-partum hemorrhage. Materials and Methods: A thorough clinical examination was performed in all patients. Clinical features, including maternal age, previous gestational history, mode of delivery, primary cause of hemorrhage, number of red cell concentrate units transfused, and outcomes, were evaluated. Risk factors of PPH were also recorded. Results: Mode of delivery was vaginal in 49, LSCS in 34, gravida was primi in 54, multigravida in 29. Complications found to be anemia in 29, DIC in 16 and others in 9 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The incidence of PPH was high despite many women receiving uterotonic at delivery of the babies. The risk factors for PPH in our setting were cesarean section, multiple pregnancy, fetal macrosomia and HIV.
