---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hopkins 14 | Antibiotic prophylaxis regimens for cesarean section | Any single dose of systemic antibiotic versus any multiple dose | Endometritis | "There is no evidence from this meta-analysis to recommend multiple doses of antibiotics" | Any single dose systemic regimen (pre, post or intra-operative) may be more effective than any multiple dose regimen |
Hodnett 15 | Continuous support for women during childbirth | Continuous one-to-one intrapartum support versus usual care | Cesarean birth | "Women who had continuous, one-to-one support during labour were less likely to have a caesarean birth" | Continuous support may not reduce the occurrence of cesarean birth comparing to usual care. |
Cheng 16 | Interventions for emergency contraception | Mifepristone mid-dose (25–50 mg) versus low-doses (≤ 10 mg) | Observed number of pregnancies | "Although the overall meta-analysis shows fewer pregnancies with the mid-dose... when the analysis is limited to the five trials with adequate allocation concealment...this effect is no longer evident" | Mifepristone mid-doses (25–50 mg) may not be more effective than low doses (≤ 10 mg) |
