Traditional Chinese medicine, a characteristic medical system inherited for thousands of years, often applies Shoutai pills in the treatment of Threatened abortion and has achieved good results. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shoutai pills combined with dedrogesterone tablets for the treatment of early preterm abortion. METHODS: Electronic searches of clinical randomized controlled trials in PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, and China Scientific Journal Database (VIP) were conducted. References to the included literature, gray literature in Open Grey, and other relevant literature such as clinical studies registered in ClinicalTrials.gov, were also manually searched. Relevant data were extracted, and a meta-analysis was performed using Reviewer Manager 5.4. RESULTS: The results of this study will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals. CONCLUSION: This study provides high-quality evidence on the efficacy and safety of Shoutai pills in combination with dedrogesterone tablets for the treatment of preterm abortion.
