| Summary of Findings | The authors of the letter to the editor highlight concerns with the literature searches in one systematic review of delayed versus immediate pushing in the second stage of labour in women with neuraxial analgesia published in 2020. This includes failure to report the search strategy to enable replication which leads to an unusually low yield from database searching of 16 records.. |
