Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to statistically evaluate the hypothesis that the presence of MECONIUM-stained AMNIOTIC FLUID is associated with postpartum maternal INFECTION.Methods: This prospective cohort study included 573 term pregnant women in labor, with no other medical problems, that underwent CESAREAN SECTION for pregnancy termination.Women with prolonged active-phase labor, prolonged rupture of membranes, complicated CESAREAN SECTION and pre-operative INFECTIONs were excluded from this study. The subjects were divided into two groups: 280 women with MECONIUM-stained AMNIOTIC FLUID (M group), and 293 women with clear AMNIOTIC FLUID (C group). A comparison was done regarding postpartum FEVER, ENDOMETRITIS and wound INFECTION between the two groups. Student’s t-test and chi square test were used for data analysis, along with linear regression, with p<0.05 indicating significance.Results: Among the 573 women, a total of 82 women (14%) had FEVER after cesarean; 42 women from the M group, and 40 women from the C group (p= 0.3). Among the 82 women who had FEVER, 33 women had continuous FEVER, 6.5% in group M and 2.7% in group C (p<0.05, RR: 1.98, 95% CI 1.3-3.1). Among the 573 women, 4% developed ENDOMETRITIS 5% in group M and 2% in group C (p<0.05, RR: 2.3, 95%, CI 1.3-3.4).Similarly, among the 573 women, a total of 5 women (1%) developed wound INFECTION, 1.7% in group M and 0.68% in group C (p=0.7).Conclusion: MECONIUM-stained AMNIOTIC FLUID is associated with increased postpartum INFECTION independent of other risk factors for INFECTION.
