description | Post-partum, women can suffer from urinary and faecal incontinence. It is important to assess interventions to prevent this problem. Cochrane systematic reviews summarize the data available from systematic reviews of randomized trials assessing interventions. We conducted an umbrella overview of Cochrane systematic reviews encompassing antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum interventions for preventing postpartum urinary and faecal incontinence. We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews on the 9 May 2023. Results: Our search identified nine Cochrane reviews providing results. Data for urinary and faecal incontinence were available from 77 (72%) trials and included 51,113 women. The reviews assessed antenatal digital perineal massage, pelvic floor muscle training, techniques for repairing anal sphincter tears, routine use of episiotomy, use of endoanal ultrasound prior to repairing perineal tears, caesarean versus vaginal delivery (overall, for breech and for twins), and vaginal delivery with forceps or vacuum. Only the use of a vacuum instead of forceps if an assisted vaginal delivery is needed, the use of an endo-anal ultrasound prior to repairing perineal tears and postpartum pelvic floor muscle training suggest a reduction in postpartum incontinence. Due to the small number of relevant reviews, a consequence of the relatively small number of primary studies, the effect of almost all the tested interventions was found to be imprecise. |
