REVIEW CRITERIA
- We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of all RCTs which
surveyed the efficacy and safety of astodrimer gel versus placebo in
treating patients with bacterial vaginosis.
- We searched four (Cochrane Central, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of
Science) databases from inception to August 15th using relevant
keywords and specific inclusion/exclusion criteria.
- We pooled dichotomous outcomes as risk ratios with 95% confidence
intervals, both under random- or fixed-effects meta-analysis models.
