As reported in the abstract

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Average mean arterial pressure (MAP) · 10 to 60 min after delivery

Average MAP difference, not statistically significant
−1.67; 95% CI, −3.57 to 0.22; P = .09

Postdelivery compensatory reserve index (CRI) adjusted for preeclampsia and uterotonics

Lower CRI with PPH persisted after adjustment

Postdelivery CRI, excluding preeclamptics (subanalysis)

CRI remained lower in those who hemorrhaged
