- Enhanced recovery protocols for major upper gastrointestinal, liver and pancreatic surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Feb-2016
'Fast-track surgery' or 'enhanced recovery protocol' or 'fast-track rehabilitation', incorporating one or more elements of preoperative education, pain relief, early mobilisation, enteral nutrition and growth factors, may improve health-related quality of
- Enhanced rehabilitation and care models for adults with dementia following hip fracture surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Feb-2020
Hip fracture is a major injury that causes significant problems for affected individuals and their family and carers. Over 40% of people with hip fracture have dementia or cognitive impairment. The outcomes of these individuals after surgery are poorer th
- Enhancing partner support to improve smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2018
While many cessation programmes are available to assist smokers in quitting, research suggests that support from individual partners, family members, or 'buddies' may encourage abstinence.
- Enteral antibiotics for preventing necrotizing enterocolitis in low birthweight or preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal problem of preterm neonates. There have been reports published suggesting that the use of enteral antibiotics may be effective as prophylaxis. This systematic review was undertaken to cla
- Enteral feeding methods for nutritional management in patients with head and neck cancers being treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2013
This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 3, 2010.
- Enteral iron supplementation in preterm and low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Apr-2012
Preterm infants are at risk of exhausting their body iron stores much earlier than healthy term newborns. It is widespread practice to give enteral iron supplementation to preterm and low birth weight infants to prevent iron deficiency anaemia. However, i
- Enteral lactoferrin for the treatment of sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis in neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2019
Neonatal sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) cause significant neonatal mortality and morbidity despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. Enhancing host defense and modulating inflammation by using lactoferrin as an adjunct to antibiotics in the trea
- Enteral lactoferrin supplementation for prevention of sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Mar-2020
Lactoferrin, a normal component of human colostrum and milk, can enhance host defenses and may be effective for prevention of sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm neonates.
- Enteral nutrition for maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Aug-2018
Prevention of relapse is a major issue in the management of quiescent Crohn's disease (CD). Current therapies (e.g. methotrexate, biologics, 6-mercaptopurine and azathioprine) may be effective for maintaining remission in CD, but these drugs may cause sig
- Enteral nutrition formulations for acute pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2015
Acute pancreatitis is a common and potentially lethal disease with increasing incidence. Severe cases are characterised by high mortality, and despite improvements in intensive care management, no specific treatment relevantly improves clinical outcomes o
- Enteral nutritional therapy for induction of remission in Crohn's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Apr-2018
Corticosteroids are often preferred over enteral nutrition (EN) as induction therapy for Crohn's disease (CD). Prior meta-analyses suggest that corticosteroids are superior to EN for induction of remission in CD. Treatment failures in EN trials are often
- Enteral tube feeding for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2011
Enteral feeding (tube feeding) is offered to many people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease experiencing difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) and maintaining adequate nutritional intake leading to weight loss.
- Enteral tube feeding for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2019
Enteral tube feeding is routinely used in many cystic fibrosis centres when oral dietary and supplement intake has failed to achieve an adequate nutritional status. The use of this method of feeding is assessed on an individual basis taking into considera
- Enteral tube feeding for older people with advanced dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Apr-2009
The use of enteral tube feeding for patients with advanced dementia who have poor nutritional intake is common. In one US survey 34% of 186,835 nursing home residents with advanced cognitive impairment were tube fed. Potential benefits or harms of this pr
- Enteral tube feeding for people with severe dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2021
The balance of benefits and harms associated with enteral tube feeding for people with severe dementia is not clear. An increasing number of guidelines highlight the lack of evidenced benefit and potential risks of enteral tube feeding. In some areas of t
- Enteral versus parenteral nutrition and enteral versus a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition for adults in the intensive care unit
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jun-2018
Critically ill people are at increased risk of malnutrition. Acute and chronic illness, trauma and inflammation induce stress-related catabolism, and drug-induced adverse effects may reduce appetite or increase nausea and vomiting. In addition, patient ma
- Enteral versus parenteral nutrition for acute pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Acute pancreatitis creates a catabolic stress state promoting a systemic inflammatory response and nutritional deterioration. Adequate supply of nutrients plays an important role in recovery. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) has been standard practice for
- Enteral zinc supplementation for prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2021
Preterm and low birth weight infants are born with low stores in zinc, which is a vital trace element for growth, cell differentiation and immune function. Preterm infants are at risk of zinc deficiency during the postnatal period of rapid growth. Systema
- Environmental and behavioural interventions for reducing physical activity limitation and preventing falls in older people with visual impairment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2020
Impairment of vision is associated with a decrease in activities of daily living. Avoidance of physical activity in older adults with visual impairment can lead to functional decline and is an important risk factor for falls. The rate of falls and fractur
