Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem. In the National Kidney Foundation Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines it is stressed that lifestyle issues such as physical activity should be seen as cornerstones of the therap
- Exercise training for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Apr-2021
Bronchiectasis is characterised by excessive sputum production, chronic cough, and acute exacerbations and is associated with symptoms of dyspnoea and fatigue, which reduce exercise tolerance and impair quality of life. Exercise training in isolation or i
- Exercise training to improve exercise capacity and quality of life in people with non-malignant dust-related respiratory diseases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2015
Non-malignant dust-related respiratory diseases, such as asbestosis and silicosis, are similar to other chronic respiratory diseases and may be characterised by breathlessness, reduced exercise capacity and reduced health-related quality of life. Some non
- Exercise training undertaken by people within 12 months of lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2015
Decreased exercise capacity and impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are common in people following lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Exercise training has been demonstrated to confer gains in exercise capacity and HR
- Exercise versus no exercise for the occurrence, severity and duration of acute respiratory infections
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jun-2015
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) last for less than 30 days and are the most common acute diseases affecting people worldwide. Exercise has been shown to improve health generally and may be effective in reducing the occurrence, severity and duration of
- Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for adults after heart valve surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Mar-2016
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation may benefit heart valve surgery patients. We conducted a systematic review to assess the evidence for the use of exercise-based intervention programmes following heart valve surgery.
- Exercise‐based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2021
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of death globally. However, with falling CHD mortality rates, an increasing number of people living with CHD may need support to manage their symptoms and prognosis. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitati
- Exercise-based rehabilitation for heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Apr-2014
Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses consistently show the positive effect of exercise-based rehabilitation for heart failure (HF) on exercise capacity; however, the direction and magnitude of effects on health-related quality of life, mortality
- Exercises for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Sep-2012
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine . While AIS can progress during growth and cause a surface deformity, it is usually not symptomatic. However, in adulthood, if the final spinal curvature surpasses a certa
- Exercises for mechanical neck disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jan-2015
Neck pain is common, disabling and costly. Exercise is one treatment approach.
- Exercises for prevention of recurrences of low-back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2011
Back pain is a common disorder that has a tendency to recur. It is unclear if exercises, either as part of treatment or as a post-treatment programme, can reduce back pain recurrences.
- Exit interviews to reduce turnover amongst healthcare professionals
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2014
Exit interviews are widely used in healthcare organisations to identify reasons for staff attrition, yet their usefulness in limiting turnover is unclear.
- Expectant care versus surgical treatment for miscarriage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2012
Miscarriage is a common complication of early pregnancy that can have both medical and psychological consequences such as depression and anxiety. The need for routine surgical evacuation with miscarriage has been questioned because of potential complicati
- Expedited versus conservative approaches for vaginal delivery in breech presentation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2015
In a vaginal breech birth there may be benefit from rapid delivery of the baby to prevent progressive acidosis. However, this needs to be weighed against the potential trauma of a quick delivery.
- Expert systems for fetal assessment in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2015
Cardiotocography (CTG) records the fetal heart rate in relation to maternal uterine contractions and is one of the most common forms of fetal assessment during labour. Despite guidelines for CTG interpretation, substantial inter- and intra-observer variat
- Extended peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment for 72 weeks versus standard peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment for 48 weeks in chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infected slow-responder adult patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2012
The standard length of peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infected patients is 48 weeks. However, the number of patients demonstrating a sustained virological response is not high. In order to improve sus
- Extended versus standard lymph node dissection for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder in patients undergoing radical cystectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-May-2019
In the treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, we are currently uncertain of the benefits and harms of standard pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared to extended PLND.
- Extent of lymph node dissection for adenocarcinoma of the stomach
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jun-2015
The impact of lymphadenectomy extent on the survival of patients with primary resectable gastric carcinoma is debated.
- External cephalic version for breech presentation at term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Mar-2016
Management of breech presentation is controversial, particularly in regard to manipulation of the position of the fetus by external cephalic version (ECV). ECV may reduce the number of breech presentations and caesarean sections, but there also have been
- External cephalic version for breech presentation before term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2015
External cephalic version (ECV) of the breech fetus at term (after 37 weeks) has been shown to be effective in reducing the number of breech presentations and caesarean sections, but the rates of success are relatively low. This review examines studies in
