Assessing Women's Preferences for Postpartum Thromboprophylaxis: the Prefer-Postpartum Study

Assessing Women's Preferences for Postpartum Thromboprophylaxis: the Prefer-Postpartum Study

The preferences of pregnant women for postpartum thromboprophylaxis are largely unknown. The aims of this transversal study are to elicit the preferences of pregnant/postpartum women about postpartum thromboprophylaxis in semi-structured interviews, and to estimate the utility of the relevant health states (pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, postpartum hemorrhage, subcutaneous injections). In this second aim, the investigators will also compare the effect of 2 different techniques to estimate utilities (standard gamble vs. time trade-off), using a randomization of these techniques.
