Antibiotics vs placebo or no antibiotic: Probable early‐onset neonatal sepsis ‐ Late induction of labour
- Population
- pregnant women with prelabour rupture of membranes at or near term
- Intervention
- Antibiotics
- Comparison
- placebo or no antibiotic
- Outcome
- Probable early‐onset neonatal sepsis ‐ Late induction of labour
It is very uncertain whether any antibiotic changes probable early‐onset neonatal sepsis ‐ Late induction of labour compared with placebo or no antibiotic (subgrouped by timing of induction of labour) (very low certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
