| Group (N) | QLB (N = 35) | CON (N = 33) | TAPB (N = 34) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VAS 2 | 2 (0–3) a | 3 (3–5) | 2 (1–3) b | <0.001 |
| VAS 4 | 4 (3–5) | 4 (4–5) | 3 (2–5) | 0.048 |
| VAS 8 | 4 (2–5) | 4 (4–5) | 4 (3–5) | 0.17 |
| VAS 12 | 4 (2–5) a | 5 (4–6) | 4 (3–5.4) | 0.013 |
| VAS 24 | 4 (2–5.25) a | 5 (4–6) | 4 (3.15–5.25) b | <0.01 |
The table presents the subsequent results of visual analog scale intensity in mm after the cesarean section. Data are shown as medians (interquartile ranges). The probability was calculated with the Kruskal–Wallis test by ranks. If this test showed a significant result, a pairwise comparison was made with the Mann–Whitney U test. A significant calculated probability was set at 0.017 after Bonferroni correction; a: QLB < CON; b: TAPB < CON. CON denotes the control group, QLB denotes the quadratus lumborum block group, and TAPB denotes the transversus abdominis plane block group.
