Abstract

BACKGROUND: The white blood cell count is often used to assess the maternal condition after an operative vaginal delivery. However, it remains unknown whether the maternal white blood cell count on the day after delivery is associated with sequential maternal adverse outcomes, especially infectious complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between maternal white blood cell count on the day after operative vaginal delivery and sequential maternal adverse events.
