Comparation of the prognoses in pregnancy women receiving routine perineal shaving and non perineal shaving before vaginal delivery : a Meta analysis / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the prognoses in pregnancy women receiving routine perineal shaving and non perineal shaving before vaginal delivery through meta analysis.Methods The randomized controlled trials or non-randomized controlled trials for comparing the prognoses in pregnancy women receiving routine perineal shaving and non perineal shaving before vaginal delivery were retrieved from databases,including Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMbase,SCI,Ovid,CBM,Wanfang,VIP and CNKI,till December 2015.The studies were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and the data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently.The Meta-analysis was conducted via RevMan 5.2.6 software.Results A total of 6 studies (including three articles in English and three ones in Chinese) including 1 924 delivery women were included,1 083 cases in the perineal shaving group and 841 cases in the non perineal shaving group.No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence rate of fever after delivery between the perineal shaving group and the non perineal shaving group[Z=0.57,P=0.57,RR=1.14,95 ％ CI(0.73,1.76)],and there was no statistically significant difference in post-operative wound infection between the two groups [Z=0.43,P=0.66,RR=1.11,95％CI(0.69,1.78)].Conclusion Perineal shaving may be not an essential nursing intervention before vaginal delivery.
