Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Faculty of Dentistry/ Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, Institutional Review Board reviewed the protocol and granted the ethics approval to conduct cost-utility analysis which cost and utility data were collected from two settings. First, for cost data, hospital charges were retrospectively gathered form Hospital billing records after the approval of the Ethics Committee of Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital - Manila, Philippines (REC-2019-004 ver. 1). Written consent was waived since billing charges were obtained retrospectively and patients were not interviewed for the costing data. Second, the utility data were collected from women who gave birth through VD or CS using EQ-5D-5L questionnaires and gathered after approval of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Siriraj Hospital – Bangkok, Thailand (COA. No. Si 128/2019) where written consent was obtained before administering the questionnaires.
