Summary

This study will aim to investigate whether systemic inflammatory markers-especially the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)-obtained from preoperative complete blood counts can predict the development of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) in obstetric patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

Conditions

• Preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)
• Postdural Puncture Headache

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	PDPH	Observational analysis of preoperative inflammatory markers (e.g., NLR, PLR, SIRI) in relation to PDPH development following spinal anesthesia.
