Incidence and risk factor evaluation for postoperative nausea and vomiting in cesarean section under general anesthesia compared to the gynecologic surgery: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This retrospective study sought to investigate the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and its associated risk factors in patients undergoing cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Methods

Patients who underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia or who underwent open gynecologic surgery were assigned to the OB group (n = 291) or the GY group (n = 225), respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of PONV. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for PONV in the OB group. Propensity score matching was additionally conducted to facilitate a comparison of PONV incidence between the OB and GY groups (n = 66 in each group).

Results

In the OB group, 21 patients (7.2%) experienced P
