A total of 210 postpartum women were included, comprising 105 VD and 105 CD. The Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were administered to all participants before discharge in the early postpartum period. Demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as PBQ scores, were compared between groups. Comparisons were also made between PCD and UCD. Factors associated with PBQ scores were evaluated using a general linear regression model (GLM) in the overall cohort and separately within the CD subgroup to identify independent predictors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mean PBQ scores were significantly higher in the CD group compared with the VD group (10.09\u2009\u00b1\u20090.34 vs. 7.14\u2009\u00b1\u20090.34;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
