Pisake Lumbiganon

TL;DR: A multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial to determine whether oral misoprostol is as effective as oxytocin during the third stage of labour and the use of additional uterotonics without an unacceptable level of side-effects.

TL;DR: Implementation of guidelines with mandatory second opinion can lead to a small reduction in caesarean section rates, predominately in intrapartum sections, and there is insufficient evidence that prenatal education and support programmes, computer patient decision- aids, decision-aid booklets and intensive group therapy are effective.

TL;DR: Prevention and treatment of anaemia during pregnancy and post partum should remain a global public health and research priority.

TL;DR: To assess the protective effect of depot‐medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) on uterine leiomyomas, DMPA has been widely used in Thailand for many years.

TL;DR: Examining the existing reporting frameworks for research against information sought by users of systematic reviews of public health interventions and suggesting additional items that should be considered are suggested to improve the quality and usefulness of published evidence and increase its impact on public health program planning.
