Concordance Between the Measurement of Whole Blood Fibrinogen by the qLabs®FIB Analyzer and Its Measurement by Conventional Method (Clauss Fibrinogen) in the Context of Severe Postpartum Haemorrhage (FIB-HPPS)

Concordance Between the Measurement of Whole Blood Fibrinogen by the qLabs®FIB Analyzer and Its Measurement by Conventional Method (Clauss Fibrinogen) in the Context of Severe Postpartum Haemorrhage: a Prospective Multicenter Non-interventional Study

In France in 2021, 11.6% of deliveries were complicated by a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), including 3.0% by severe PPH (the bleeding volume exceeds 1000 ml). Severe PPH is the 5th cause of maternal death (8.4% or 1.2 deaths per 100,000 live births). These deaths were considered preventable in 90% of cases. A plasma fibrinogen concentration below 2 g/L is considered as a critical threshold which constitutes a marker of severity of PPH and is significantly associated with the occurrence of severe PPH. Measuring the concentration of fibrinogen using a rapid test, simple to perform and interpret, available in the delivery room could optimize the management of severe PPH. The qLabs®FIB analyzer distributed by the Stago Biocare laboratory for the rapid determination of the fibrinogen concentration at the patient's bedside could meet this objective.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In France in 2021, 11.6% of deliveries were complicated by postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), including 3.0% by severe PPH (the bleeding volume exceeds 1000 ml). Severe PPH is the 5th cause of maternal death (8.4% or 1.2 deaths per 100,000 live births). These deaths were considered preventable in 90% of cases. A plasma fibrinogen concentration below 2 g/L is considered as a critical threshold which constitutes a marker of severity of PPH and is significantly associated with the occurrence of severe PPH. Measuring the concentration of fibrinogen using a rapid test, simple to perform and interpret, available in the delivery room could optimize the management of severe PPH. The qLabs®FIB analyzer distributed by Stago Biocare laboratory for the rapid determination of the fibrinogen concentration at the patient's bedside could meet this objective.

The hypothesis of the study is a concordance between the measurement of fibrinogen by the qLabs®FIB Monitoring system and by the Clauss fibrinogen assay in laboratory to identify patients with a fibrinogen level < 2 g/L.

The prospects are to provide an easy-to-use delocalized biology tool for early diagnosis of a fibrinogen concentration < 2g predictive of an unfavorable evolution in the context of severe PPH.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients
Patients giving birth in the Cochin Port Royal and Necker Enfants Malades (APHP) maternity units and cared for severe postpartum haemorrhage defined as bleeding greater than 1000 ml within 24 hours of postpartum, regardless of the route of delivery (vaginal delivery and cesarean section).
A drop of blood (~15 μL) is taken from the blood sample for the complete haemostasis assessment (prothrombin level, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen). This assessment is part of the usual management of severe postpartum haemorrhage. It is carried out urgently in the hospital's medical biology laboratory at the start of treatment (T1) and during or at the end of treatment of the haemorrhage (T2). This drop of blood will allow the measurement of the fibrinogen concentration by the qLabs®FIB Monitoring system for the study at these two times.

What is the study measuring?

Time Frame
Agreement between fibrinogen measurement by qLabs®FIB and by the Clauss method
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Calculation of the average bias and the 95% limits of agreement between the measurement of qLabs®FIB fibrinogen in the delivery room and Clauss fibrinogen at the medical biology laboratory using the Bland and Altman graphic method. A difference of 0.1 g between the two techniques will be considered acceptable to identify patients with a fibrinogen level < 2 g/L.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
