Study	Reason for exclusion
De Meeus 1991	Abstract only (translated). This randomised study included 200 women including, not only instrumental delivery but also women undergoing manual removal of placenta or uterine exploration, or both, premature rupture of the membranes of more than 6 hours and a labour of more than 8 hours. No details of the interventions were given for either the treatment or the control groups. The study outcomes of postpartum fever in both comparison groups were given but they were not described for subgroups; therefore, there were no data suitable for extraction. We could not find a published article. We have tried to contact the author but without success to date.
