		(8/27; 29.6 %)	(12/27; 44.4 %)	(7/27; 25.9 %)	p-value
Frequency of rescue analgesic use after CD (times)	<24 h	1 [0–6]	0 [0–3]	1 [0–5]	0.59
	24–48 h	0 [0–3]	1 [0–4]	2 [0–5]	0.09

Data are shown as median [range] or mean+/-SD. Statistical analyses were performed by Kruskal–Wallis test for frequency of rescue analgesic use and by one-way ANOVA for average time to first rescue analgesic use within 48 h after CD
