- Feed thickener for infants up to six months of age with gastro‐oesophageal reflux
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2017
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is common in infants, and feed thickeners are often used to manage it in infants as they are simple to use and perceived to be harmless. However, conflicting evidence exists to support the use of feed thickeners.
- Feedback or biofeedback to augment pelvic floor muscle training for urinary incontinence in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2011
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is an effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women. Whilst most of the PFMT trials have been done in women with stress urinary incontinence, there is also some trial evidence that PFMT is effective for u
- Feeding interventions for growth and development in infants with cleft lip, cleft palate or cleft lip and palate
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2011
Cleft lip and cleft palate are common birth defects, affecting about one baby of every 700 born. Feeding these babies is an immediate concern and there is evidence of delay in growth of children with a cleft as compared to those without clefting. In an ef

- Fetal and umbilical Doppler ultrasound in high‐risk pregnancies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jun-2017
Abnormal blood flow patterns in fetal circulation detected by Doppler ultrasound may indicate poor fetal prognosis. It is also possible that false positive Doppler ultrasound findings could lead to adverse outcomes from unnecessary interventions, includin
