OBJECTIVE:

To systematically review the effectiveness of telehealth interventions for improving obstetric and gynecologic health outcomes.

DATA SOURCES:

We conducted a comprehensive search for primary literature in ClinicalTrials. gov, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Collaboration Registry of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, PubMed, and MEDLINE.

METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION:

Qualifying primary studies had a comparison group, were conducted in countries ranked very high on the United Nations Human Development Index, published in English, and evaluated obstetric and gynecologic health outcomes. Cochrane Collaboration's tool and ROBINS-I tool were used for assessing risk of bias. Summary of evidence tables were created using the United States Preventive Services Task Force Summary of Evidence Table for Evidence Reviews.
