Summary of Findings | The letter highlights a reportedly unwarranted conclusion from a Cochrane systematic review published in 2004 which included no studies of support for women and families after a perinatal death. The authors caution that conclusions from reviews that include no high-quality studies must be considered carefully and should be well substantiated by other evidence. |
