Evaluation of the relationship between the Obstetric Comorbidity Index (Ob-CMI) and the Obstetric Quality Of Recovery Score (ObsQoR-11): a prospective observational study

Int J Obstet AnesthPublished Prospective observational study

Authors' conclusion

A negative correlation between preoperative OB-CMI and postoperative ObsQoR-11 scores suggests that OB-CMI may serve as a valuable preoperative tool for predicting recovery quality in caesarean delivery cases.
