Asymptomatic p-value, OR—Odds Ratio, CI—Confidence Interval, NS—no significant difference, VD+SSC+BF—neonates delivered via VD who had immediate SSC and were breastfed in the first hour postpartum. CS+SSC+BF—neonates delivered via CS who had immediate SSC and were breastfed in the first hour postpartum.
