probability of severe postpartum hemorrhage. Results: Six independent risk factors of severe postpartum hemorrhage in the simple model were selected from 40 clinical information features including a history of endometrial injury, complications with placenta previa or placenta accreta, lower gestational age at delivery, pelvic adhesion, and previous uterine incision status. Our final simple model showed excellent discrimination and calibration, with areas under the ROC curve of more than 0.90 in the validation set. Conclusions: Predictive tools based on patient clinical characteristics can be used to accurately estimate the probability of severe postpartum hemorrhage in patients undergoing repeat cesarean delivery.
