Cesarean Wound Disruption, Wound Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
The serum procalcitonin levels are important during infections and sepsis. The investigators aimed to assess its predictive value in terms of post-cesarean wound infection.
Detailed description
The serum procalcitonin levels are important during infections and sepsis. Recent studies showed that serum procalcitonin levels are more sensitive than serum CRP levels.The investigators aimed to assess its predictive value in terms of post-cesarean wound infection. The serum procalcitonin levels are aimed to measure in participants who had cesarean section and developed surgical site infection. The investigators aimed to compare the serum procalcitonin levels between the patients who need secondary suture and the patients who did not need secondary suture.
Interventions
