ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analogue with its uterotonic properties has entered as an integral part of management of the third stage of labour, helping to prevent postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). Objective: To assess evidence on the effectiveness of misoprostol compared to a placebo for the prevention and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage. Methods: Databases searched included; MEDLINE, Google Scholar and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Other sources were also searched. All articles were screened for methodological quality by two reviewers independently by standardized instrument. Data was entered in Review Manger 5.1 software for analysis. Results: Three Misoprostol studies were included (2346 participants), Oral (2 trials) and sublingual (1 trial). Misoprostol has shown not to be effective in reducing PPH (RR 0.65: 95% CI 0.40-1.06). Only one trial reported on need for blood transfusion (RR 0.14; 95% CI 0.02-1.15). Misoprostol use is associated with significant increases in shivering (RR 2.75; 95% CI 2.26-3.34) and pyrexia (RR 5.34; 95% CI 2.86-9.96) than with placebo. No maternal deaths were reported in included trials. Compared to placebo, misoprostol was coupled with less hysterectomies and additional used of uterotonics (RR 0.45; 95%CI 0.21-0.96) compared to placebo. Conclusion: Results of this review shows that the use of misoprostol in combination with some components of active management was not associated with any significant reduction in incidence of PPH. However oral administration showed a significant reduction in incidence of PPH. For its use for treatment of postpartum haemorrhage, there is a need for research focus in optimal dose and route of administration for a clinically significant effect and acceptable side effects. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond: Misoprostol, 'n prostaglandien E1 analoog met sy uterotonic eienskappe het ingeskryf as' n integrale deel van die bestuur van die derde stadium van kraam, help postpartum bloeding (PPH) te voorkom. Doelwit: Om bewyse oor die effektiwiteit van Misoprostol in vergelyking met 'n placebo vir die voorkoming en behandeling van postpartum bloeding te evalueer. Metodes: Databases gesoek ingesluit, Medline, CINHAL, Google Scholar en Cochrane Sentrale Register van gecontroleerde studies (Sentraal). Ander bronne is ook deursoek. Alle artikels is gekeur vir die metodologiese kwaliteit deur twee beoordelaars onafhanklik deur die gestandaardiseerde instrument. Data is opgeneem in Review Manger 5.1 sagteware vir ontleding. Hoof Resultate: Drie Misoprostol studies were ingesluit (2346 deelnemers). Mondeling (2 proe) en sublinguale (1 verhoor). Misoprostol het getoon nie doeltreffend te wees in die vermindering van PPH (RR 0,65: 95% CI 0,40-1,06). Slegs een verhoor berig oor die noodsaaklikheid vir 'n bloedoortapping (RR 0,14, 95% CI 0,02-1,15). Misoprostol gebruik word geassosieer met 'n aansienlike toename in bewing (RR 2,75, 95% CI 2,26- 3,34) en koors (RR 5,34, 95% CI 2,86-9,96) as met' n placebo. Geen moederlike sterftes is aangemeld in proewe. In vergelyking met placebo, was Misoprostol tesame met minder hysterectomies en addisionele gebruik van uterotonics (RR 0,45, 95% CI,21-,96) in vergelyking met placebo. Gevolgtrekking: Resultate van hierdie studie toon dat die gebruik van Misoprostol in kombinasie met 'n paar komponente van aktiewe bestuur is wat nie verband hou met' n beduidende afname in die voorkoms van PPH. Vir die gebruik vir die behandeling van postpartum bloeding, daar is 'n behoefte vir navorsing fokus in die optimale dosis en die roete van administrasie vir' n klinies beduidende uitwerking en aanvaarbare neweeffekte. 2011-11-22T13:54:37Z 2011-12-05T13:09:32Z 2011-11-22T13:54:37Z 2011-12-05T13:09:32Z 2011-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/17900 en_ZA Stellenbosch University 63 p. application/pdf Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University |
