Overview

This study will aim to investigate whether systemic inflammatory markers-especially the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)-obtained from preoperative complete blood counts can predict the development of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) in obstetric patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women aged 18 years or older
  • Underwent elective or emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia
  • Had complete preoperative complete blood count (CBC) data available
  • No known hematological or inflammatory disease
  • No intraoperative complications recorded
  • Medical records accessible for postoperative follow-up regarding PDPH symptoms

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age under 18
  • Absence of preoperative complete blood count data
  • Presence of hematologic malignancy, active infection, autoimmune disease, or immunosuppressive therapy
  • Platelet count <150,000/mm³ or INR >1.5
  • Incomplete or missing medical records

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
