01/01/2014 - "Whereas the previous version of this review showed a statistically significant reduction in endometritis with the use of antibiotics, no such effect was shown in this update (average risk ratio (RR) 0.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.05 to 2.31). "
03/01/1984 - "On the other hand, the presence of a mixture of high- and low-virulence organisms in the AMC or of high-virulence anaerobes only--more specifically, gram-negative anaerobes--was predictive of subsequent postcesarean endometritis only for patients who did not receive perioperative antibiotics, and therapy significantly decreased the incidence of endometritis associated with these AMC patterns.
