- 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 prevention of recurrences of low‐back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
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.
- Exfoliative cytology for diagnosing basal cell carcinoma and other skin cancers in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Dec-2018
Early accurate detection of all skin cancer types is essential to guide appropriate management, reduce morbidity and improve survival. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is usually localised to the skin but has potential to infiltrate and damage surrounding tissu
- Exhaled nitric oxide levels to guide treatment for adults with asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Sep-2016
Asthma guidelines aim to guide health practitioners to optimise treatment for patients so as to minimise symptoms, improve or maintain good lung function, and prevent acute exacerbations or flare-ups. The principle of asthma guidelines is based on a step-
- Exhaled nitric oxide levels to guide treatment for children with asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2016
Asthma guidelines aim to guide health practitioners to optimise treatment for patients to minimise symptoms, improve or maintain good lung function, and prevent acute exacerbations. The principle of asthma guidelines is based on a step-up or step-down reg
- Exit interviews to reduce turnover amongst healthcare professionals
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-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, 30-Apr-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
- Exposure to the smell and taste of milk to accelerate feeding in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jul-2019
Preterm infants are often unable to co-ordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing for oral feeding because of their immaturity; in such cases, initial nutrition is provided by orogastric or nasogastric tube feeding. Feed intolerance is common and can dela
- Extended lymph node resection versus standard resection for pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2021
Pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinomas account for some of the most aggressive malignancies, and the leading causes of cancer-related mortalities. Partial pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with negative resection margins is the only potentially curative
- 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.
- Extended‐field radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Oct-2018
The para-aortic lymph nodes (located along the major vessels in the mid and upper abdomen) are a common place for disease recurrence after treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. The para-aortic area is not covered by standard pelvic radiotherapy
- Extended‐release methylphenidate for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Feb-2022
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric diagnosis increasingly used in adults. The recommended first-line pharmacological treatment is central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, such as methylphenidate, but uncertainty remains about
- Extent of lymph node dissection for adenocarcinoma of the stomach
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2015
The impact of lymphadenectomy extent on the survival of patients with primary resectable gastric carcinoma is debated.
- External beam radiation dose escalation for high grade glioma

- External beam radiotherapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Mar-2017
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common liver neoplasm, the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and the third most common cause of cancer mortality. Moreover, its incidence has increased dramatically in the past decade. While surgical resection and li

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Apr-2015
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
