- Angioplasty versus stenting for infrapopliteal arterial lesions in chronic limb‐threatening ischaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2018
Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) is a manifestation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) that includes chronic ischaemic rest pain or ischaemic skin lesions, ulcers, or gangrene for longer than two weeks. The severity of the disease depends on th
- Angioplasty versus stenting for subclavian artery stenosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-May-2014
There is insufficient evidence to guide stent usage following angioplasty in subclavian artery stenosis. This is an update of a review first published in 2011.
- Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors versus angiotensin receptor blockers for primary hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Aug-2014
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely prescribed for primary hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg). However, while ACE inhibitors hav
- Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists for preventing the progression of diabetic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2010
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRA) are considered to be equally effective for patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), but renal and not mortality outcomes have usually been considered.
- Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in normotensive diabetic patients with microalbuminuria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2008
Renal disease is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus.
- Angiotensin receptor blockers for heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2012
Chronic heart failure (HF) is a prevalent world-wide. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely prescribed for chronic HF although their role is controversial.
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for proteinuria and microalbuminuria in people with sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jun-2015
Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders characterized by deformation of erythrocytes. Renal damage is a frequent complication in sickle cell disease as a result of long-standing anemia and disturbed circulation through the renal medullary capillaries.
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for adults with early (stage 1 to 3) non-diabetic chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Aug-2011
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long term condition that occurs as a result of damage to the kidneys. Early recognition of CKD is becoming increasingly common due to widespread laboratory estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting, raised cli
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for preserving residual kidney function in peritoneal dialysis patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2014
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely used in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, yet controversy exists about their impact on residual kidney function.
- Animal derived surfactant extract for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2009
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of pulmonary surfactant. A wide variety of surfactant products have been formulated and studied in clinical trials. These include synthetic surfactants and animal derived surfact
- Animal derived surfactant extract versus protein free synthetic surfactant for the prevention and treatment of respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Aug-2015
A wide variety of surfactant preparations have been developed and tested including synthetic surfactants and surfactants derived from animal sources. Although clinical trials have demonstrated that both synthetic surfactant and animal derived surfactant p
- Antacids for preventing oesophagogastric variceal bleeding and rebleeding in cirrhotic patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2008
Ruptured gastroesophageal varices are the most severe and frequent cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotic patients, leading to death in 5% to 8% of patients during the first 48 hours and oesophagogastric varices account for 60% to 80% of first bl
- Antenatal breast examination for promoting breastfeeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2008
The rationale for antenatal breast examination has included the need to determine whether any problems with breastfeeding could be anticipated, using the time during examination as an opportunity for the healthcare provider to introduce and discuss the im
- Antenatal breast milk expression by women with diabetes for improving infant outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jul-2014
Some women with diabetes in pregnancy are encouraged to express and store colostrum prior to birthing. Following birth, the breastfed infant may be given the stored colostrum to minimise the use of artificial formula or intravenous dextrose administration
- Antenatal breastfeeding education for increasing breastfeeding duration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2012
Breastfeeding (BF) is well recognised as the best food for infants. The impact of antenatal BF education on the duration of BF has not been evaluated.
- Antenatal cardiotocography for fetal assessment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Sep-2015
Cardiotocography (CTG) is a continuous recording of the fetal heart rate obtained via an ultrasound transducer placed on the mother’s abdomen. CTG is widely used in pregnancy as a method of assessing fetal well-being, predominantly in pregnancies with inc
- Antenatal corticosteroids for accelerating fetal lung maturation for women at risk of preterm birth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Feb-2013
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a serious complication of preterm birth and the primary cause of early neonatal mortality and disability.
- Antenatal corticosteroids prior to planned caesarean at term for improving neonatal outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Dec-2021
Infants born at term by elective caesarean section are more likely to develop respiratory morbidity than infants born vaginally. Prophylactic corticosteroids in singleton preterm pregnancies accelerate lung maturation and reduce the incidence of respirato
- Antenatal day care units versus hospital admission for women with complicated pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Aug-2009
Antenatal day care units have been widely used as an alternative to inpatient care for women with pregnancy complications including mild and moderate hypertension, and preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes.
- Antenatal dietary education and supplementation to increase energy and protein intake
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Jun-2015
Gestational weight gain is positively associated with fetal growth, and observational studies of food supplementation in pregnancy have reported increases in gestational weight gain and fetal growth.
