Meta-analysis combining RCTs of the effects of placental transfusion on mortality to hospital

discharge in the Cochrane Review by Rabe et al, 2012 (11) with the Australian Placental

Transfusion Study (19)

The overall Risk Ratio (or Relative Risk -RR) is 0.71 (95% Confidence Interval 0.53 to 0.95, P= 0.02).
