I’m very encouraged by the E-MOTIVE Trial results released today at #IMNHC2023 to treat postpartum hemorrhage, the #1 cause of maternal mortality. This new approach led by @unibirmingham and @WHO could drastically improve women’s chances of surviving childbirth globally. https://t.co/5rLoflpcv0

It has been a tremendous effort by everyone involved to get the results of the @EmotiveTrial published so quickly, and the findings presented today at the #IMNHC2023 conference

[meghan bohren @meghanbohren]

⚡️Breaking news: results from @EmotiveTrial presented for the 1st time @ #IMNHC2023

PPH is leading cause of maternal health 🌍

We found a 60% reduction in composite outcome: severe PPH, laparotomy for bleeding or death from bleeding

The package of interventions or E-MOTIVE, incl.:
💟 Detect Early
💟 Uterine Massage
💟 Treat with Oxytocic medicines and Tranexamic acid to contract the womb & stop the bleeding
💟 Give IntraVenous fluid (IV fluid)
💟 Examine and when needed, escalate to advanced care

[NEJM @NEJM]

In a large, cluster-randomized trial involving patients with PPH after vaginal delivery, a multicomponent intervention lowered the risk of severe PPH, laparotomy for bleeding, or maternal death from bleeding. Full results of the E-MOTIVE trial: https://t.co/NjcE4Q1rxM

[Adam Devall @adam_devall]

The large trial involved more than 200,000 women around the world, with 80 hospitals taking part across Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania. It was supported by @gatesfoundation and led by @WHOCCGWH. Read the paper: https://t.co/D2ipXgSpDF

[Adam Devall @adam_devall]

Postpartum haemorrhage affects ~24 million women per year and is the leading cause of #maternalmortality worldwide. This study finds that the condition can be identified and treated quicker by using a low-cost drape to measure blood loss and bundling @WHO recommended treatments.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

A 🆕 trial promises a major breakthrough in preventing deaths from postpartum bleeding, which is the leading cause of maternal mortality globally.

Following the intervention, severe bleeding after childbirth was reduced by more than 60%

Important new research on #miscarriage prevention with the largest ever trial on the subject in women with threatened pregnancy loss

[@tommysbham @tommysbham]

We are delighted to share the findings of the @PRISM_trial. The results show that progesterone treatment can prevent #miscarriage in women with early pregnancy bleeding and a history of one or more previous pregnancy losses @Tommys_baby @BhamCTU @IMSR_UoB
