Figure 1 . A longitudinal analysis with repeated measures of SI
was performed using a linear mixed-effects model. The change in SI
during labour and postpartum was the primary outcome. The crude trends
and the 95% CI of the multilevel regression model across repeated
measures for SI, HR, and SBP are shown. The mean raw values of SI, HR
and SBP are also presented.
Figure 2. An adjusted linear mixed-effects model was performed
by maternal age (older than 35 years), haemoglobin level, cervical
dilation, and nulliparity. For continuous (except for cervical dilation)
variables, we stratified and entered them as dummy indicators in the
multilevel model. Additionally, the models were fitted for each
component of the SI (HR and SBP).
