Risk of XXXX after emergency delivery.

@entity1 @entity341 @entity308
AIM: To identify whether @entity1 having emergency delivery are at increased risk of developing @entity308 ( @entity308 ). METHODS: This is a retrospective comparative cohort study design. Two hundred and fifty Malaysian @entity1 were part of a previous study examining the prevalence of @entity308 in a multiracial country and the effects of postnatal rituals. All @entity1 were at least 6 weeks post-partum when asked to complete the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Sociodemographic and birth data were obtained. RESULTS: Data collected were divided into two groups: 55 emergency delivery and 191 @entity341 . There were four missing data. There was no significant difference in the mean age, parity, gestational period, baby birthweight, 5 min baby Apgar score and EPDS scores of the two groups. However, the analysis of @entity308 indicated that @entity1 with emergency delivery had a relative risk of 1.81 compared with @entity1 with @entity341 . The comparison of the two groups using chi2 indicated a significant (chi2 = 3.94, d.f. = 1, P = 0.04) increase in the presence of @entity308 in the emergency delivery. CONCLUSION: When compared with @entity1 having @entity341 , @entity1 having emergency delivery had about twice the risk of developing @entity308 . Special attention to this group appears warranted.
