A Comparison of Sterile and Non-sterile Gloves for the Incidence of Chorioamnionitis During Labor: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The importance of this study is that intrapartum vaginal exams (while patients are laboring)
are performed routinely in modern obstetrical practice, and there is no randomized trial
available assessing the relationship between the type of glove used and the rate of
chorioamnionitis.
