To give or not give antibiotic prophylaxis for planned caesarean section: An assessment of risk of postpartum prescription of antibiotics depending on prophylaxis regimen

We found no evidence that routinely administrated prophylactic antibiotics for women with planned caesarean section reduced the risk of a prescription of postpartum antibiotics in a setting with high hygiene standards. Instead, the incidence of prophylactic antibiotics was positively associated with postpartum antibiotic prescriptions and speculate that this reflects local practice routines rather than complication rates.
