We conducted a planned analysis of a large prospective caesarean delivery cohort to explore the relationship between ethnicity, socio\u2010economic status and postpartum recovery. Eligible patients were enrolled and baseline demographic, obstetric and medical history data were collected 18 h and 30\u2009h following delivery. Patients completed postpartum quality of life and recovery measures in person on day 1 (EuroQoL EQ\u20105D\u20105L, including global health visual analogue scale; Obstetric Quality of Recovery\u201010 item score; and pain scores) and by telephone between day 28 and day 32 postpartum (EQ\u20105D\u20105L and pain scores). Socio\u2010economic group was determined according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation quintile of each patient's usual place of residence. Data from 1000 patients who underwent caesarean delivery were included. There were more patients of Asian, Black and mixed ethnicity in the more deprived quintiles. Patients of White ethnicities had shorter postpartum duration of hospital stay compared with patients of Asian and Black ethnicities (35 (28\u201356 [18\u2013513]) h vs. 44 (31\u201371 [19\u2013465]) h vs. 49 (33\u201375 [23\u2013189]) h, respectively. In adjusted models at day 30, patients of Asian ethnicity had a significantly greater risk of moderate to severe pain (numerical rating scale \u2265\u20094) at rest and on movement (odds ratio (95%CI) 2.42 (1.24\u20134.74) and 2.32 (1.40\u20133.87)), respectively). There were no differences in readmission rates or incidence of complications between groups. Patients from White ethnic backgrounds experience shorter postpartum duration of stay compared with patients from Asian and Black ethnic groups. Ethnic background impacts pain scores and recovery at day 1 postpartum and following hospital discharge, even after adjusting for socio\u2010economic group. Further work is required to understand the underlying factors driving differences in pain and recovery and to develop strategies to reduce disparities in obstetric patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/anae.16241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,15]],"date-time":"2024-02-15T18:01:56Z","timestamp":1708020116000},"page":"486-497","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Ethnicity, socio\u2010economic deprivation and postpartum outcomes following caesarean delivery: a multicentre cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"79","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7070-2276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
