Differences between protocol and review

From the original protocol, this review has been separated into three reviews as described in the updated protocol sections of this review and a further two reviews will provide information on this topic.

  1. Different classes of antibiotics given to women routinely for preventing infection after caesarean section.

  2. Different regimens of penicillin antibiotic given to women routinely for preventing infection after caesarean section.

  3. Different regimens of cephalosporin antibiotic given to women routinely for preventing infection after caesarean section.

  4. Timing of prophylactic antibiotics for preventing infectious morbidity in women undergoing caesarean section (review in preparation).

  5. Routes of administration for antibiotic given to women routinely for preventing infection after caesarean section.

We have added subgroup analyses for all outcomes for Comparison 1, 'Cephalosporins versus penicillins', according to whether single or combination drugs were used.

We have added two further outcomes 'Post‐discharge infections ‐ to 30 days' and 'Maternal readmissions to hospital'.

Notes

This review updates part of the currently published review (Hopkins 1999). Once the other reviews, which complete the split of the original review, are published, we will withdraw Hopkins 1999 from publication.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
