Bed rest during pregnancy for
preventing miscarriage
– There is insufficient evidence of high quality that
supports a policy of bed rest in order to prevent
miscarriage in women with confirmed fetal
viability and vaginal bleeding in first half of
pregnancy.

Progestogen for preventing miscarriage

VBAC
2004
• most patients who have had a low-transverse uterine incision from
a previous cesarean delivery and who have no contra-indications for
vaginal birth are candidates for a trial of labor. Criteria for selecting
candidates for VBAC include the following:
• (1) one previous low-transverse cesarean delivery;
• (2) clinically adequate pelvis;
• (3) no other uterine scars or previous rupture;
• (4) a physician immediately available throughout active labor who
is capable of monitoring labor and performing an emergency
cesarean delivery;
• (5) the availability of anesthesia and personnel for emergency
cesarean delivery.
VBAC
Jan 2007
• New evidence is emerging to indicate that
VBAC may not be as safe as
originally thought.
Evidence based individual decision making
VBAC rate was 5% in 1985.
due to recommendations favoring TOLAC By 1996
VBAC rises to 28.3% .
reports of uterine rupture and other complications
during TOLAC also rises consequently..
By 2006, the VBAC rate had decreased to 8.5%. and
the total cesarean delivery rate had increased to 31.1%
 In a 2010 consensus conference, (NIH) examined the safety
and outcome of TOLAC and VBAC and factors associated with
decreasing rates. The NIH panel recognized that TOLAC was a
reasonable option for many women with a prior cesarean
delivery and called on organizations to facilitate access to
TOLAC. In addition, the panel recognized that
“concerns over liability have a major impact on the
willingness of physicians and healthcare institutions
to offer [TOLAC]” .
Antenatal Corticosteroids to Reduce
Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality
Antenatal corticosteroids should be given to all women
at risk of iatrogenic or spontaneous preterm birth up
to 34+6 weeks of gestation. April 1996
Evidence

Antenatal corticosteroids should be given to all women
for whom an elective caesarean section is planned
prior to 38+6 weeks of gestation. October 2010
Metroplasty versus expectant management
for women with recurrent miscarriage and a
septate uterus
• Hysteroscopic metroplasty in women with recurrent miscarriage and a
septate uterus is being performed in many countries to improve
reproductive outcomes in women.This treatment has been assessed in
non-controlled studies, which suggested a positive effect on pregnancy
outcomes. However, these studies are biased due to the fact that the
participants with recurrent miscarriage treated by hysteroscopic
metroplasty served as their own controls. Until now, the effectiveness and
possible complications of hysteroscopic metroplasty have never been
considered in a randomised controlled trial.Taking this into account there
is insufficient evidence to support this treatment in these women.

Aspirin or anticoagulants for treating
recurrent miscarriage in women without
antiphospholipid syndrome
There is a paucity in studies on the efficacy and
safety of aspirin and heparin in women with a
history of at least two miscarriages without
apparent causes other than inherited
thrombophilia, the use of anticoagulants
in this setting is not recommended.

Cervical assessment by ultrasound for
preventing preterm delivery
• Currently there is insufficient evidence to
recommend routine screening of asymptomatic
or symptomatic pregnant women with TVU CL.

results, so that it can be easily evaluated and
replicated.

Urgent, or therapeutic, cerclage often is
recommended for women who have
ultrasonographic changes consistent with a
progressive shortening cervix or evidence of
funneling.

conclusion
EBM firm adherence may blocks
many things that could be
useful if you're in need now.
OR, the firm evidence you
need now has not yet been
developed - or has been developed,
and hasn' t been published yet.
( EBID ) IS EVIDENCE-BASED
MEDICINE AS PRACTICED BY THE
INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
( EBG ) IS THE PRACTICE OF
EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE AT THE
ORGANIZATIONAL OR INSTITUTIONAL
LEVEL.
With today's emphasis on
evidence-based medicine,
it often is difficult to
decide on an appropriate
action, especially when
conflicting reports
abound.
Best research evidence
,Assessment of maternal
risk ,quality of human
judgment and decision
making, are the gate for
prevention of adverse
pregnancy outcomes.
Thank you
