Effectiveness of an evidence-based intervention bundle in reducing post-caesarean delivery surgical site infections: systematic review and meta-analysis

Evidence-based bundles are a highly effective, practical, and adaptable strategy for reducing SSIs following caesarean delivery. Their integration into routine obstetric care can substantially improve maternal recovery, support early neonatal care including breastfeeding, and decrease healthcare costs associated with prolonged hospital stays. Adoption of such bundles should be prioritized globally, with particular urgency in LMICs where the burden of post-CS SSIs is highest.
