This document outlines the protocol for a systematic review on the global incidence of puerperal sepsis. The review aims to provide incidence or prevalence data on puerperal sepsis worldwide by searching various databases and the gray literature from 1997-2002. Studies providing prevalence or incidence rates for any puerperal sepsis in any population within 42 days of termination of pregnancy will be included. The extracted data will be assessed and the review is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
