Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: This study included full-term primiparous women (classified as II by the American Society of Anesthesiologists) who received epidural analgesia for labor.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria were: pre-epidural fever (temperature = 37.5?), chorioamnionitis, and unnecessary cervical examinations. Specifically, according to the Normal Delivery Guidelines published by the Chinese Medical Association in 2020, cervical examinations should be performed every 4 hours during the latent phase of the first stage of labor, every 2 hours during the active phase, and when clinical signs suggest that the cervix is dilating rapidly. Unnecessary cervical examinations may increase the risk of intrapartum fever.
