Brief summary
Postoperative pain after cesarean delivery is common and affects on both mothers and children. The goals of this retrospective observational study aim to predict pain score and opioid consumption of index cesarean delivery from pain score and opioid consumption of previous cesarean delivery.
Detailed description
The authors will review the medical records of recruited participants for demographic data as well as pain scores and opioid consumption of index cesarean delivery and previous cesarean delivery.
Interventions
To collect data of pain score and opioid consumption of index and previous cesarean delivery
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria
* Patients with chronic pain prior to cesarean delivery * Unable to give pain score * Receiving general anesthesia for cesarean delivery * Receiving postoperative pain control beyond the standard protocol * Patients with multiple pregnancy, placenta abruption, placenta accrete, postpartum hemorrhage * Patients with psychotic disorder
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prediction of pain score after cesarean delivery | January 2024 - December 2025 | To predict pain score of index cesarean delivery from previous cesarean delivery using pain score measured by verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prediction of opioid consumption after cesarean delivery | January 2024 - December 2025 | To predict opioid consumption of index cesarean delivery from previous cesarean delivery based on 1. number and percentage of patients who required opioid for controlling postoperative pain, 2. MME (milligram morphine equivalent) per total patients and 3. MME per patients who received opioid |
