Differences between protocol and review

The title has changed from 'Planned elective birth at or near term for improving health outcomes for pregnant women with pre‐gestational diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2)' to 'Planned birth at or near term for improving health outcomes for pregnant women with pre‐existing diabetes and their infants'.

The protocol for this Cochrane review was published in PROSPERO on 26 September 2017 — see http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.asp?ID=CRD42017072506. The protocol was not published in the Cochrane Library.

Notes

The original review 'Elective delivery in diabetic pregnant women' (Boulvain 2001) has now been split into two reviews.

  • Planned birth at or near term for improving health outcomes for pregnant women with gestational diabetes and their infants (Biesty 2018).

  • Planned birth at or near term for improving health outcomes for pregnant women with pre‐existing diabetes and their infants (this review).

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.
