Investigation of post-cesarean recovery among Taiwanese pregnant women.
Improving postpartum quality of recovery is important particularly for women undergoing cesarean delivery. This is because cesarean delivery is associated with significant postoperative pain and risks of anesthesia-related adverse effects. To improve the quality of recovery after a cesarean delivery, the first step is to find out the most relevant perioperative factors. In response to this problem, experts including anesthesiologists, obstetricians and midwives from University College London Hospital, Royal Free Hospital, London as well as Stanford University established a set of 11-item questionaire related to postpartum recovery, namely the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-11 score (ObsQoR-11), with a total score of 110. The latest systemic review in 2020 also confirmed that this questionnaire is the best option for recovery assessment after cesarean delivery. However, for women undergoing cesarean delivery in Taiwan, it is still unknown whether this questionnaire is representative or not. Therefore, this study aims to include women undergoing elective cesarean delivery from three hospitals in Taiwan.
