[Study on the related factors of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section].

Objective

To analyze the related factors of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section.

Methods

From April 2009 to April 2019, 500 patients with cesarean section and postoperative intestinal obstruction in Beijing Maternity Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were taken as the case group, and 500 patients without postoperative intestinal obstruction who underwent cesarean section on the same day as the case group were taken as the control group. The data of patients' general characteristics, pregnancy complications, blood routine and biochemical indexes, and operation related factors were collected to compare the differences between patients with intestinal obstruction and patients without intestinal obstruction. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section.

Results

The age of 500 patients with intestinal obstruction after cesarean section was (33.3±4.2) years, and the age of 500 patients without intestinal obstruction after cesarean section was (31.6±3.9) years. The incidence of pregnancy complications in patients with intestinal obstruction was higher than that in patients without intestinal obstruction (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative anemia [OR(95%CI) of 5.318(1.522-18.580), P=0.009], postoperative low protein [OR(95%CI) of 0.376(0.143-0.993), P=0.048], intraoperative bleeding ≥500 ml [OR(95%CI) of 3.085(1.551-6.136), P=0.001],intraoperative adhesion [OR(95%CI) of 2.856(1.285-6.347), P=0.010] were the risk factor of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section. The intraoperative application of antiadhesion drugs [OR(95%CI) of 0.322(0.158-0.654), P=0.002] was the protective factor of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section.

Conclusions

Patients with anemia and low protein have an increased risk of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section.
