Abbreviation: RR, risk ratio.
Adjusted for: age, race and ethnicity, body mass index, insurance payer status, and nulliparity through logistic regression.
Transfusion for acute blood loss anemia included those transfused 1 to 2 units of packed red blood cells or whole blood and excluded transfusions for abruption, previa, atony, operative complication, vaginal trauma, sickle cell, hypovolemia, oliguria or the receipt of platelets, plasma, or cryoprecipitate.
Adjusted mean difference (95% CI) evaluated at the midpoint of adjustment factors.
