About this trial
In this proposed study, the investigators hope to assess the quality of recovery after delivery in a local population that would take into account physiological and psychological parameters to better understand the recovery process after delivery. The investigators will identify risk factors, especially those that are modifiable and associated with a poorer ObsQoR score and hence a poor quality of recovery after delivery. This data may then be used to educate women and manage expectations in the postpartum period, and help develop potential therapeutic interventions.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change of ObsQoR-10-Chinese after 60 mins
Repeat of ObsQoR-10-Chinese at 60 mins after the first postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Chinese and its correlation to the previous hour ObsQoR-10-Chinese (test-retest reliability)
Change of ObsQoR-10-Malay after 60 mins
Repeat of ObsQoR-10-Malay at 60 mins after the first postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Malay and its correlation to the previous hour ObsQoR-10-Malay (test-retest reliability)
Secondary outcomes
Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Chinese and global health status
Correlation of postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Chinese scores with EQ-5D-3L-Chinese scores and global health Visual analog scale (VAS) (GHVAS; how good or bad is patient's health today, in her opinion, from 100 'Best imaginable health state' to 0 'Worst imaginable health state')
Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Malay and global health status
Correlation of postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Malay scores with EQ-5D-3L-Malay scores and global health Visual analog scale (VAS) (GHVAS; how good or bad is patient's health today, in her opinion, from 100 'Best imaginable health state' to 0 'Worst imaginable health state')
Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Chinese and recovery
Correlation of postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Chinese scores with good recovery (postpartum 1 GHVAS \>=70mm) vs poor recovery (postpartum day 1 GHVAS \< 70mm)
Correlation between ObsQoR-10-Malay and recovery
Correlation of postpartum day 1 ObsQoR-10-Malay scores with good recovery (postpartum 1 GHVAS \>=70mm) vs poor recovery (postpartum day 1 GHVAS \< 70mm)
