Background: Unintended pregnancy is a problem that women encounter throughout their reproductive age. Excessive and prolonged uterine bleeding is one of the most common and critical adverse reactions of induced abortion, for it increases the risk of anemia and intrauterine infection. To provide reliable clinical evidence, we performed a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the hemostatic effect of motherwort in postabortion.

Methods: This review protocol has been registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews. The statement of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols will be used as guidelines for reporting present review protocol. Original clinical randomized controlled trials assessing the beneficial effects and safety of motherwort on induced abortion will be included. Databases searched include China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, Wanfang Database, China Biological Medicine Database, PubMed, and EMBASE Database and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Cochrane collaboration tool is used to assess the risk of bias of included randomized controlled trials. All calculations are carried out with Stata 11.0 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, United Kingdom).

Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide a detailed summary of the current evidence related to the efficacy of motherwort injection preventing postabortion hemorrhage after induced abortion.

Conclusion: This evidence will be useful to practitioners, patients, and health policy-makers regarding the use of motherwort injection in induced abortion.

Introduction: Women with HIV (WHIV) have higher risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly in the absence of antiretroviral treatment(ART), and timing of ART may impact risk.

Methods: In IMPAACT 2010 (VESTED), 643 pregnant WHIV in 9 countries were randomized 1:1:1 to initiate ART: dolutegravir (DTG)+emtricitabine(FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide(TAF); DTG+FTC/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF. We describe adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with a subsequent pregnancy during 50 weeks of postpartum follow-up: spontaneous abortion (<20 weeks), stillbirth (≥20 weeks), preterm delivery (<37 weeks) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA).
