Nearly one-tenth of the women developed SSIs. Factors such as rupture of the membrane before the operation, absence of antenatal care, labor duration greater than 24 h, a midline skin incision, and postoperative hemoglobin less than 11 g/dl were the predictors of SSI. To reduce the incidence of SSI, policymakers should consider the importance of high-quality antenatal care, shorten the duration of labor, and maintain women's hemodynamics in future SSI prevention bundles.
