Abstract

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is recognized as a leading cause of obstetric morbidity and mortality. Population‐wide studies have used International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnostic codes to track and report the prevalence of PPH. Although the 10th revision (ICD‐10) was introduced in Sweden in 1997, the accuracy of ICD‐10 codes for PPH is not known. Thus, the aim was to determine the accuracy of diagnostic coding for PPH in the Swedish Pregnancy Register.
