Abstract
C
Summary
68
In the current study, there were no significant differences
between both groups as regards age, parity, and BMI. However,
we demonstrated that higher parity, older age, and obesity were
significantly associated with a high rate of wound infection.
In our study, the median duration of CS was 60 minutes
and the minimum is 25 minutes and the maximum is 90 minutes
in both groups. We found that longer surgical duration is
associated with a high rate of wound infection.
In the present study, there were no significant differences
between groups as regards previous medical history, including
bronchial asthma, chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension,
and hypothyroidism. Also, no significant relation was noted
between the patient’s medical diseases and wound infection.
Concerning Southampton follow-up scoring system grades
in the present study (wound healing, bruising, erythema,
hematoma formation, and inflammation); there were no
significant differences between both groups as regard 24 hours,
one week, and 30 days after surgery, p= 0.968, 0.343 and 0.438
respectively. Also, there were no significant differences between
both groups as regard wound infection 24 hours, 1 week, and 30
days after surgery, p= 0.707, 0.093, and 0.492 respectively.
