Women that typically experience this condition suffer from an improperly developed pelvis due to poor nutrition, young age of motherhood, and/or bone-affecting disease. If left untreated, CPD leaves women vulnerable to postpartum hemorrhage, ruptured uterus, stillbirth, fistula formation, and sepsis.\n\n== Detailed description of the solution ==\n\nThis device is a simple, 3 query tool that allows health workers to determine if a woman is at a high or low risk for CPD during the early stages of the pregnancy. The tool is the first device that can predict obstructed labor before it starts. This CPD risk-stratifying tool is low cost and can be used effectively by low-literacy community health workers.\n\n== Designed by ==\n\n* Designed by: University of California, San Francisco\n* Manufacturer (if different):\n* Manufacturer location: San Francisco, CA USA\n\n== Funding Source ==\n\nFinalist in Saving Lives at Birth Competition\n\n== References ==\n\n=== Peer-reviewed publication ===\n\n=== Other internally generated reports ===\n\n=== Externally generated reports ===\n\nA novel clinical tool to predict cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), the leading mechanism of obstructed labor.
