This is one of the problems with not referring to the original work itself. Both of these are "News" stories talking about the same article. The article isn't a study either (If you can believe the stories), it is a Cochrane Review. The story doesn't even explain what a Cochrane review is. I would like to see the whole review and see what articles they excluded and why. There are several studies(At least one{The Chicago study}) showing that it increases the incidence.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
