Data Sheet 1_Definition dependence of questionnaire-reported maternal temperature elevation in a retrospective registry cohort of women receiving neuraxial labor analgesia.pdf

IPOW-standardized estimates were 5.4% and 17.5%, respectively. Among 1,139 complete records, nulliparity had a large but imprecise association with strict fever [Firth-adjusted odds ratio (OR), 8.05; 95% CI, 2.51–40.76], whereas the dural puncture epidural estimate crossed the null (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.35–1.02). For any elevation, age (OR per year, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03–1.13), nulliparity (OR, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.86–5.63), and analgesia duration (OR per 2 h, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.06–1.20) were associated with higher odds; duration non-linearity remained exploratory (p = 0.002).</p>Conclusion<p>Observed questionnaire-reported temperature frequency was definition-dependent.

Incomplete outcome linkage, sparse strict-fever events, uncertain temperature timing, and differential laboratory testing limit inference; the findings are exploratory and require prospective validation with continuous timestamped temperature measurement.</p>
