Antibiotics for neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid.

CONCLUSIONS: Upon review of available evidence, we found no differences in infection rates following antibiotic treatment among neonates born through meconium-stained fluid and those with meconium aspiration syndrome. The overall quality of evidence is low owing to the small number of included studies. Well-controlled studies of adequate power are needed. PMID: 28658507 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
