: We conducted a search of seven electronic
databases and reference lists of retrieved studies to
identify trials from inception up to July 2014 where
pregnant women, regardless of risk factors for
pregnancy complications, were randomly allocated to
receive an alternative model of antenatal care or routine
care. We pooled risks of PTB to determine the effect of
alternative care models in all pregnant women. We also
assessed secondary maternal and infant outcomes,
women’s satisfaction and economic outcomes
