This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the benefits of home visiting models for postpartum depression amongst mothers of young children, where either the mothers or the children are enrolled in early childhood home visiting programs or interventions. To identify core components essential for a home visiting program to effectively address postpartum depression in mothers of young children. The hypothesized core components of such a program include the priority level given to PPD intervention, the type of home visitors, the intensity of the program, the percentage of BIPOC participants, and the service recipients' baseline level of and risk for depression.

Review Meta AnalysisCaesarean myomectomy in pregnant women with uterine fibroids.
Postpartum haemorrhage, defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of birth, is the leading global cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, and affect an increasing number of women. Caesarean myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids during a caesarean section. Traditionally, obstetricians have avoided this procedure given the risk of uncontrollable haemorrhage. There is also the risk of longer operating time and more days in the hospital. However, there could be potential benefits in removing uterine fibroids for improved fertility, and caesarean section may provide an effective and efficient opportunity to perform this procedure. Given the link between removal of uterine fibroids and postpartum haemorrhage, it is prudent to evaluate current literature and assess the benefits and harms of caesarean myomectomy in pregnant women with uterine fibroids. ⋯ The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024554215) and available from: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42024554215.
