Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background Postpartum endometritis, which is more common after cesarean section, occurs when vaginal organisms invade the endometrial cavity during labor and birth. Antibiotic treatment is warranted. Objectives The effect of different antibiotic regimens for the treatment of postpartum endometritis on failure of therapy and complications was systematically reviewed. Search methods We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (January 2007). We updated this search on 8 June 2012 and added the results to the awaiting classification section of the review. Selection criteria Randomized trials of different antibiotic regimens for postpartum endometritis, after cesarean section or vaginal birth, where outcomes of treatment failure or complications were reported were selected. Data collection and analysis We abstracted data independently and made comparisons between different types of antibiotic regimen based on type of antibiotic and duration and route of administration. Summary relative risks were calculated. Main results Thirty‐nine trials with 4221 participants were included. Fifteen studies comparing clindamycin and an aminoglycoside with another regimen showed more treatment failures with the other regimen (relative risk (RR) 1.44; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15 to 1.80). Failures of those regimens with poor activity against penicillin resistant anaerobic bacteria were more likely (RR 1.94; 95% CI 1.38 to 2.72). In three studies that compared continued oral antibiotic therapy after intravenous therapy with no oral therapy, no differences were found in recurrent endometritis or other outcomes. In four studies comparing once daily with thrice daily dosing of gentamicin there were fewer failures with once daily dosing. There was no evidence of difference in incidence of allergic reactions. Cephalosporins were associated with less diarrhea. Authors' conclusions The combination of gentamicin and clindamycin is appropriate for the treatment of endometritis. Regimens with activity against penicillin‐resistant anaerobic bacteria are better than those without. There is no evidence that any one regimen is associated with fewer side‐effects. Once uncomplicated endometritis has clinically improved with intravenous therapy, oral therapy is not needed.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
