    • To identify socio-demographic factors associated with refusal.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 800 women hospitalized for delivery at a government hospital in Madras.
    • Categorization of reasons for refusal based on socio-demographic characteristics, age, and parity.

    Main Results:

    • Common reasons for refusal included "inability to do manual work after the operation", "husband objects", and "necessity for prolonged rest".
    • Socio-demographic factors, age, and parity influenced the reasons cited for refusal.
