The relative risks of acute and severe morbidity as intensive care unit admission and blood transfusion among cesarean-delivered women were 2.59 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.96 to 3.44], 4.33 (95% CI = 2.17 to 8.92), respectively. The adjusted relative risk of surgical site pain and infection at 4 weeks; surgical site pain at 6 weeks; and lower abdominal pain, breast engorgement\/mastitis, urinary incontinence, and weakness at 6 months among cesarean-delivered women was higher (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).
