The study included women who underwent cesarean sections with at least 30 days of post-operative follow-up and met the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s SSI diagnostic criteria. Cases were categorized into pre-pandemic (n = 109), pandemic (n = 87), and post-pandemic normalization groups (n = 88). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, and chi-squared tests using SPSS 25.0, whereas time series analysis used a Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model in Python 3.12, with significance set at p &lt; 0.05.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>(1) The SSI rate increased from 0.4884% in the pre-pandemic period to 0.5007% during the pandemic, reaching 0.7747% in the post-pandemic period, indicating a rising trend across the three time frames, with the post-pandemic period showing the highest rate.
