- Intermittent inhaled corticosteroid therapy versus placebo for persistent asthma in children and adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2015
International guidelines advocate using daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in the management of children and adults with persistent asthma. However, in real world clinical settings, these medicines are often used at irregular intervals by patients. Recen
- Intermittent iron supplementation for improving nutrition and development in children under 12 years of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2014
Approximately 600 million children of preschool and school age are anaemic worldwide. It is estimated that half of the cases are due to iron deficiency. Consequences of iron deficiency anaemia during childhood include growth retardation, reduced school ac
- Intermittent iron supplementation for reducing anaemia and its associated impairments in adolescent and adult menstruating women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2019
Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is insufficient to meet physiologic needs; it is caused by many conditions, particularly iron deficiency. Traditionally, daily iron supplementation has been a standard practice for preventing a
- Intermittent oral iron supplementation during pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Oct-2015
Anaemia is a frequent condition during pregnancy, particularly among women in low- and middle-income countries. Traditionally, gestational anaemia has been prevented with daily iron supplements throughout pregnancy, but adherence to this regimen due to si

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2014
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is a mechanical method of delivering compression to swollen limbs that can be used to treat venous leg ulcers and limb swelling due to lymphoedema.
- Intermittent preventive antimalarial treatment for children with anaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jan-2015
Anaemia is a global public health problem. Children under five years of age living in developing countries (mostly Africa and South-East Asia) are highly affected. Although the causes for anaemia are multifactorial, malaria has been linked to anaemia in c

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
In malaria endemic areas, pre-school children are at high risk of severe and repeated malaria illness. One possible public health strategy, known as Intermittent Preventive Treatment in children (IPTc), is to treat all children for malaria at regular inte
- Intermittent preventive treatment regimens for malaria in HIV-positive pregnant women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2012
Intermittent preventive treatment is recommended for pregnant women living in malaria endemic countries due to benefits for both mother and baby. However, the impact may not be the same in HIV-positive pregnant women, as HIV infection impairs a woman's im

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Dec-2014
Intermittent urethral self-dilatation is sometimes recommended to reduce the risk of recurrent urethral stricture. There is no consensus as to whether it is a clinically effective or cost-effective intervention in the management of this disease.
- Intermittent versus continuous androgen suppression for prostatic cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2012
After lung cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cause of death among males. The aim of treatment is to prevent disease-related morbidity and mortality while minimizing intervention-related adverse events. Androgen suppression therapy (AST) to reduce
- Intermittent versus continuous renal replacement therapy for acute renal failure in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2008
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) for acute renal failure (ARF) can be applied intermittently (IRRT) or continuously (CRRT). It has been suggested that CRRT has several advantages over IRRT including better haemodynamic stability, lower mortality and higher
- Intermittent versus daily inhaled corticosteroids for persistent asthma in children and adults

- Internal fixation versus arthroplasty for intracapsular proximal femoral fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Sep-2011
Displaced intracapsular fractures may be treated by either reduction and internal fixation, which preserves the femoral head, or by replacement of the femoral head with an arthroplasty. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2003 and pr

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2013
Uterine contractions can be registered by external tocodynamometry (ET) or, after rupture of the membranes, by internal tocodynamometry (IT). Monitoring of the frequency of contractions is important especially when intravenous oxytocin is used as excessiv
