Conservative management of extradural abscess complicating spinal-extradural anaesthesia for caesarean section.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Days alive and out of hospital (DAH) has been proposed as a pragmatic outcome measure of surgical quality. However, there is a lack of procedure specific data or data within an optimised fast-track protocol. Furthermore, information about influence of follow-up duration and types of complications on DAH is l...
