Emergency department visits for postpartum complications.
The investigators performed a retrospective analysis of all postpartum visits to the emergency department (ED) at a tertiary care women's hospital over 6 months and described characteristics of the population and clinical details of the ED visit, specifically the presenting complaint, delivery type, final diagnosis, and admission rate. They found that women presenting to the ED postpartum period had a wide variety of medical issues but 78% were not admitted.
