Summary

Women who receive epidural analgesia during labor are more likely to develop fever than those who do not. Maternal fever during labor can produce various harmful effects on both mothers and infants. The investigators speculate that the effect of epidural analgesia is associated with the development of maternal fever, i.e., better analgesia is associated with higher risk of maternal fever.
