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.
