Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Sep-2016
Development of cancer of the cervix is a multi-step process as before cervical cancer develops, cervical cells undergo changes and become abnormal. These abnormalities are called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and are associated with increased r
- Follow‐up strategies following completion of primary cancer treatment in adult cancer survivors
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Nov-2019
Most cancer survivors receive follow-up care after completion of treatment with the primary aim of detecting recurrence. Traditional follow-up consisting of fixed visits to a cancer specialist for examinations and tests are expensive and may be burdensome
- Follow‐up strategies for patients treated for non‐metastatic colorectal cancer

- Follow‐up strategies for women treated for early breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-May-2016
Follow-up examinations are commonly performed after primary treatment for women with breast cancer. They are used to detect recurrences at an early (asymptomatic) stage. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2000.
- Food fortification with multiple micronutrients: impact on health outcomes in general population
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Dec-2019
Vitamins and minerals are essential for growth and maintenance of a healthy body, and have a role in the functioning of almost every organ. Multiple interventions have been designed to improve micronutrient deficiency, and food fortification is one of the
- Food supplementation for improving the physical and psychosocial health of socio-economically disadvantaged children aged three months to five years
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2015
Undernutrition contributes to five million deaths of children under five each year. Furthermore, throughout the life cycle, undernutrition contributes to increased risk of infection, poor cognitive functioning, chronic disease, and mortality. It is thus i
- Foot orthoses for patellofemoral pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2010
Foot orthoses, which are specially moulded devices fitted into footwear, are one of the treatment options for patellofemoral or anterior knee pain.
- Foot orthoses for treating paediatric flat feet
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2022
Paediatric flat feet are a common presentation in primary care; reported prevalence approximates 15%. A minority of flat feet can hurt and limit gait. There is no optimal strategy, nor consensus, for using foot orthoses (FOs) to treat paediatric flat feet
- Force platform feedback for standing balance training after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Aug-2008
Standing balance deficits are common in individuals after stroke. One way to address these deficits is to provide the individual with feedback from a force platform while balance activities are performed. The feedback can take visual and/or auditory form.
- Formal education of patients about to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Generally, before being operated on, patients will be given informal information by the healthcare providers involved in the care of the patients (doctors, nurses, ward clerks, or healthcare assistants). This information can also be provided formally in d
- Formoterol versus short‐acting beta‐agonists as relief medication for adults and children with asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2010

- Formula versus donor breast milk for feeding preterm or low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2019
When sufficient maternal breast milk is not available, alternative forms of enteral nutrition for preterm or low birth weight (LBW) infants are donor breast milk or artificial formula. Donor breast milk may retain some of the non-nutritive benefits of mat
- Formula versus maternal breast milk for feeding preterm or low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Aug-2019
Artificial formula can be manipulated to contain higher amounts of macro-nutrients than maternal breast milk but breast milk confers important immuno-nutritional advantages for preterm or low birth weight (LBW) infants.
- Fornix‐based versus limbal‐based conjunctival trabeculectomy flaps for glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Aug-2021
Glaucoma is one of the leading largely preventable causes of blindness in the world. It is usually addressed first medically with topical intraocular pressure-lowering drops or by laser trabeculoplasty. In cases where such treatment fails, glaucoma-filte
