Abstract
Introduction and aims of the study: Current clinical guidelines recommend antibiotic prophylaxis in cesarean delivery before cord clamping. Therefore, most hospitals in Denmark have changed practice since 2010, with only a few hospitals still administering antibiotics after cord clamping. This study evaluates, whether a change in antibiotic timing practice has reduced maternal infectious morbidity among women giving birth by cesarean delivery in Denmark. Methods: A national cohort study, with a cross-over design: eight year periods on either side of the breakpoint on the 1st of January 2010 were evaluated.
