PregnancyHeadache After Spinal Puncture

Study summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of inflammation index (pan-immune inflammation value, systemic immune inflammation index, and systemic inflammatory response index) values, calculated from routine pre- and post-operative blood test (hemogram) results of pregnant women undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia, in predicting postdural puncture headache. Significant results will allow for the early identification of the population at risk of developing PPH and the implementation of preventive measures. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the effects of factors such as demographic data (age, height, weight, and body mass index) obtained from patient records and the hospital information system, number of births, blood group, infant birth weight, smoking, previous history of postdural puncture headache (PPH), or headache in general, on the development of postdural puncture headache (PPH), to determine the frequency of PPH, and to identify the symptoms accompanying PPH.

Inclusion Criteria: * . Pregnant women who are of a cognitive level capable of giving informed consent * Pregnant women aged 18-45 who have undergone elective cesarean section * Term (37 weeks and above) pregnant women * Patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status score of 2 (ASA II) Exclusion Criteria: * History of active infection or chronic inflammatory disease * History of steroid or immunomodulatory drug use * Presence of coagulopathy or hematological disorder * Presence of preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome * Those who received blood transfusions during and after surgery

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • The predictive role of inflammation indices for postdural puncture headache. — 5 days
    * The correlation between the preoperative basal panimmune inflammation value, systemic immune-inflammation index, and systemic inflammatory response index values and the development of PPH will be statistically evaluated. * Sensitivity and specificity evaluation will be performed for basal panimmune inflammation value, systemic immune-inflammation index, and systemic inflammatory response index values in those who develop PPH.
