31 October 2014 | New search has been performed | Search updated. Three new reports identified (Cutland 2009; Pereira 2011; Saleem 2010) but all excluded as they included a co‐intervention of washing the infant with chlorhexidine after birth. For one study (Adriaanse 1995a), we had made an error in data abstraction in the previous review and when corrected the outcome of 'Neonatal colonization with GBS within the first seven days' no longer showed a statistically significant reduction. One study previously included now excluded because maternal GBS status during labour was not known (Calkin 1996). A 'Summary of findings' table was incorporated. |
31 October 2014 | New citation required and conclusions have changed | The exclusion of Calkin 1996 did not change the overall conclusions but because of our different interpretation of the outcome data from the previous update for one study (Adriaanse 1995a), the outcome of 'Neonatal colonization with GBS within the first seven days' no longer showed a statistically significant reduction. |
