Aim:
Research frequency of puerperal disorders in nulliparous women who had cesarean section in University Hospital Mostar in year 2004 and given results compared with nulliparus women who had vaginal mode of delivery.
Patients And Methods:
Research included 119 nulliparous women who had C-section in year 2004 (Tested group) and 119 nulliparous women who had vaginal mode of delivery (control group) taking in count time of delivery (first next one in delivery room protocol) and age (+/- 2 years). We analyzed type of puerperal disorders and their frequency in these groups and made comparison among them.
Results:
Frequency of puerperal disorders in nulliparous women delivered by cesarean section is higher increased compared with nulliparous women who had vaginal mode of delivery (chi2=15,015; p<0,001). In tested group was found significantly higher frequency of anemia (chi2=8,895; p=0,003) and puerperal fever (chi2=8,333; p=0,004). Higher risk of puerperal disorders in nulliparous women who had cesarean section was confirmed by odds ratio which was 4,183.
Conclusion:
Higher incidence of puerperal disorders in nulliparous women who had cesarean section is confirmation of higher risks for women with operative mode of delivery which is concerning due to increased trend of cesarean sections in our country and in the world.
