Clinical performance and patient outcome after simulation-based training in prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage: an educational intervention study in a low-resource setting

Table 1 Baseline characteristics

	Before training (n = 3622)	After training (n = 5824)	P value
Antenatal care attendance, n (%)	3530 (97.5)	5684 (97.6)	0.46
Gestational age, mean (SD), weeks^a	36.2 (1.1)	36.4 (1.3)	<0.001
Mode of delivery, n (%)
Vaginal delivery	2984 (82.4)	4717 (81.0)	0.07
Breech delivery	66 (1.8)	51 (0.9)	<0.001
Assisted vaginal delivery	26 (0.7)	25 (0.4)	0.06
Caesarean section	488 (13.5)	940 (16.1)	<0.001
Missing	58 (1.6)	91 (1.6)
Birth weight, mean (SD), gram	3107 (474)	3074 (473)	0.001
Births attended by HMS BAB trained person, n (%)	0 (0)	3148 (54.1)	**

^aIn most women there was no reliable estimated date of delivery as calculation by last menstrual period is uncertain and no dating scan facilities are available. Therefore, gestational age was calculated by measuring the fundal symphysis height prior to delivery
**Unable to compute P value as before training no one was trained
