	ECC (n = 43)	DCC (n = 55)	p-values
EBL (mL)	581.5 ± 469.2	509.3 ± 332.7	0.40
Mean hemoglobin decrease (g/dL)^a	2.2 ± 2.1	1.9 ± 1.6	0.63
Mean hematocrit decrease (%)^a	6.6 ± 6.5	5.8 ± 5.1	0.67
Bleeding complications diagnosed	9 (20.9)	14 (25.5)	0.60
Uterine atony	8 (18.6)	14 (25.5)	0.42
Others	1 (2.3)	0 (0)	0.44
Postpartum hemorrhage	11 (25.6)	11 (20.0)	0.51
Blood transfusion	3 (7.0)	3 (5.5)	1.00
Hysterectomy	0 (0)	0 (0)	1.00

^aBlood work was not routinely performed in vaginal delivery, ECC n = 22, DCC n = 23
The results are reported as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) and frequency (percentage), and p < 0.05 is statistically significant. EBL estimated blood loss
