What is Effect of Anesthesia Administration Method on Apgar Scores of Infants Born to Women Undergoing Elective Cesarean Section about?
## Background Neonatal health at delivery as measured by apgar scores is an important outcome. This study was done to assess the impact of anesthesia on Apgar 1-minute and 5-minute scores of infants delivered through elective cesarean section in Zimbabwe. ## Methods We carried out a secondary analysis of data from the Efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in Preventing Postpartum Hemorrhage (ETAPPH) clinical trial in Zimbabwe. Outcomes measured were infant Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, exposure was the administration of either a general (intravenous propofol/ketamine/sodium thiopental) or spinal (hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5%) anesthesia for anesthesia during the elective cesarean section procedure. Marginal Structural Logistic Modelling (MSM) using an unstabilized Inverse Probability Treatment Weight (IPTW) estimator was used to assess the relationship between anesthetic administration method and infant Apgar scores. ## Results Four hundred and twenty-one (421) women who had an elective caesarean section in the ETAPPH study had their infants assessed for Apgar scores. Comparing general anesthesia to spinal anesthesia, spinal anesthesia was related to good Apgar scores at 1-minute (adjusted odd
