DATA ANALYSIS
VAS score, Duration, APGAR score etc., were considered as primary
outcome variables. Descriptive analysis was carried out by mean and
standard deviation for quantitative variables, frequency and proportion
for categorical variables. Data was also represented using appropriate
diagrams like bar diagram and pie diagrams. The association between
quantitative outcomes at different time period was assessed by comparing
the median values. Mean differences along with their 95% CI were
presented. Paired t- test was used to assess statistical significance.
The association between categorical outcomes at different time periods
was assessed by cross tabulation and comparison of percentages. Mcnemar
test was used to test statistical significance. P value < 0.05
was considered statistically significant.
Out of total 40 study population, the mean age group was 24years, (Table
1). In this study, 20(50%)women were primigravidae and 20(50%) were
multigravidae(Table 2,Figure 1)
The mean gestational age was 39weeks to 40weeks 6 days in 28 women
(70%) out of 40 women .The gestational age in 11 women was between
37weeks to 38weeks 6 days and gestational age of 1woman was more than
40weeks(Table 3,Figure 2) The mean duration of first stage of labour was
153 minutes, mean duration of second stage was 30minutes, and mean
duration of third stage was 12 minutes(Table 4)
VAS at first stage, second stage, third stage were illustrated in Tables
5, 6, 7 and Figures 3, 4, 5 respectively. Analysis of PPH and patient
satisfaction shown in Tables 8, 9 and Figures 6, 7. APGAR scores at 1
minute and 5 minutes given in Table 10.Mode of delivery incidence is
illustrated in Table 11, Figure 8.
Comparison of VAS at first stage across second and third stages shown in
Tables 12, 13 and Figures 9, 10.
Table 14 gives the values of mean duration at different stages of
labour.
