ABSTRACT
Background: To compare indication, incidence, complication, fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality in primary caesarean section in multiparous women and nulliparous women. Objective of this study was to compare perinatal outcome of caesarean section in multiparous women to that in nulliparous women.Methods: It is a prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care centre during April 2017 to April 2018. All patients who delivered vaginally and abdominally were noted during study period. All patients undergoing primary caesarean section were noted. Their indication, incidence and complication throughout stay were noted. Statistics were calculated separately for multiparous women and primiparous women. Statistical analysis was done using chi square test.Results: Total 150 primary caesarean section in primiparous women and 100 primary caesarean section in multiparous women were done. Fetal distress and meconium stained amniotic fluid forms the most common indication in study. Birth weight of babies was more in multiparous women. Need of blood and blood products was more in multiparous women compared to nulliparous women. Complications like postpartum fever and wound gape was more in multiparous women.Conclusions: In the study population significant difference was seen between the indication and complication between multiparous and nulliparous women.
