Abstract
A database of perinatal trials is currently being established to provide a resource for reviews
of the
safety and efficacy of interventions used in perinatal care and to foster cooperative and
coordinated research efforts
in the perinatal field The database will ultimately comprise four main elements a register of
published reports of trials
a register of unpublished trials a register of ongoing and planned trials and data derived
from pooled overviews (meta-analyses) of trials
This article describes the development of the first of these four elements
1986 The Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials
developing a register of published reports of controlled trials

dying from the complications of immaturity by 30 to 50 per cent
bull Because no systematic review of these trials had been published until 1989
most obstetricians had not realised that the treatment was so effective

to perform systematic up-to-date reviews of RCTs of health care

ldquoIt is surely a great criticism of our profession that we
have not organised a critical summary by
specialty or subspecialty

Abstract
A database of perinatal trials is currently being established to provide a resource for reviews
of the
safety and efficacy of interventions used in perinatal care and to foster cooperative and
coordinated research efforts
in the perinatal field The database will ultimately comprise four main elements a register of
published reports of trials
a register of unpublished trials a register of ongoing and planned trials and data derived
from pooled overviews (meta-analyses) of trials
This article describes the development of the first of these four elements
1986 The Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials
developing a register of published reports of controlled trials

bull By 1991 seven more trials had been reported and the picture had become

dying from the complications of immaturity by 30 to 50 per cent
bull Because no systematic review of these trials had been published until 1989
most obstetricians had not realised that the treatment was so effective
bull As a result tens of thousands of premature babies have suffered and died
unnecessarily (and needed more expensive treatment than was necessary)

to perform systematic up-to-date reviews of RCTs of health care
