- TABLE 1. Oxytocin Availability at Bedside and Time to Administration Among Vaginal Deliveries Receiving Postpartum Oxytocin, Karntaka, India (N = 330)
Prepared and Available at Bedside Not Prepared and Not Available at Bedside P value No. (%) 128 (38.8) 202 (61.2) Received within 1 minute of delivery, No. (%) 20 (15.6) 6 (3.0) < .001 Received within 2 minutes of delivery, No. (%) 56 (43.8) 33 (16.3) < .001 Time to administration, mean (SD) [range], minutes 4.2 (4.6) [0–30] 7.5 (6.2) [0–30] < .001 Time to administration, median (IQR [Q1-Q3]), minutes 3 (25 [0–25]) 5 (29 [1–30]) < .001 Abbreviations: IQR, interquartile range; SD, standard deviation.
- TABLE 2. Association Between Time to Oxytocin Administration After Delivery and Bedside Availability of Oxytocin: Results From Unadjusted and Adjusteda Regression Models Among Vaginal Deliveries Receiving Postpartum Oxytocin, Karnataka, India (N = 330)
RR (95% CI) Adjusted RR (95% CI) Oxytocin administered within 1 minute 4.99 (2.53, 9.84) 4.89 (2.61, 9.16) Oxytocin administered within 2 minutes 2.70 (1.38, 5.29) 2.61 (1.26, 5.41) Minutes (95% CI) Adjusted minutes (95% CI) Time to oxytocin administration, minutes –3.3 (–5.2, –1.4) –2.9 (–5.0, –0.9) Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; RR, risk ratio.
Data for oxytocin administered within 1 minute and 2 minutes report risk ratios from generalized linear models with a binomial distribution and a log link function; data for time to oxytocin administration report change in number of minutes, from linear regression models.
All results use standard errors clustered by provider.
↵a Adjusted for time of delivery (daytime/nighttime), mother’s age, parity, long labor (i.e., greater than 12 hours prior to admission for nulliparous women and greater than 24 hours for all other women).
