- High dose versus low dose inhaled corticosteroid as initial starting dose for asthma in adults and children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Apr-2004
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) form the basis of maintenance therapy in asthma and their efficacy is well established. However, the optimal starting dose of ICS is not clearly established. Recent reviews demonstrate a relatively flat efficacy curve for ICS
- High feedback versus low feedback of prenatal ultrasound for reducing maternal anxiety and improving maternal health behaviour in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Aug-2015
Prenatal ultrasound is one of many techniques used in screening and diagnosis. It gives parents instant access to the images of the fetus. Receiving information promotes knowledge and understanding, but it may also increase maternal anxiety.
- High first dose quinine regimen for treating severe malaria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2004
Quinine is used for treating severe malaria. There are arguments for giving an initial high dose. We examined the evidence for and against this policy.
- High flow nasal cannula for respiratory support in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Feb-2016
High flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) are small, thin, tapered binasal tubes that deliver oxygen or blended oxygen/air at gas flows of more than 1 L/min. HFNC are increasingly being used as a form of non-invasive respiratory support for preterm infants.
- High frequency jet ventilation versus high frequency oscillatory ventilation for pulmonary dysfunction in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2016
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is considered one of the major contributors to severe pulmonary dysfunction and consequent death in preterm infants. Despite widespread improvements in care, including increased utilization of antenatal steroids, use of
- High frequency oscillatory ventilation versus conventional ventilation for infants with severe pulmonary dysfunction born at or near term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jul-2009
Pulmonary disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in term and near term infants. Conventional ventilation (CV) has been used for many years but may lead to lung injury, require the subsequent use of more invasive treatment such as extracorpore
- High initial concentration versus low initial concentration sevoflurane for inhalational induction of anaesthesia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jun-2016
Sevoflurane induction for general anaesthesia has been reported to be safe, reliable and well accepted by patients. Sevoflurane induction uses either low or high initial concentrations. The low initial concentration technique involves initially administer
- High protein supplementation in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2008
Background pending.
- High versus low dose of initial thyroid hormone replacement for congenital hypothyroidism
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2009
Congenital hypothyroidism (CHT) affects approximately one in 3000 to 4000 infants. CHT is one of the most common preventable causes of learning difficulties. Optimal management of CHT requires early diagnosis and prompt treatment to avoid abnormal neurode
- High versus low medium chain triglyceride content of formula for promoting short‐term growth of preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Feb-2021
In-hospital growth of preterm infants remains a challenge in clinical practice. The high nutrient demands of preterm infants often lead to growth faltering. For preterm infants who cannot be fed maternal or donor breast milk or may require supplementation
- High versus low positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels for mechanically ventilated adult patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2021
In patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mortality remains high. These patients require mechanical ventilation, which has been associated with ventilator-induced lung injury. High levels of positive end-expi
- High versus low‐added sugar consumption for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jan-2022
High intake of added sugar have been suggested to impact the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Knowledge on the subject can contribute to preventing CVD.
- High versus standard volume enteral feeds to promote growth in preterm or low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2021
Human milk is the best enteral nutrition for preterm infants. However, human milk, given at standard recommended volumes, is not adequate to meet the protein, energy, and other nutrient requirements of preterm or low birth weight infants. One strategy tha
- High-carbohydrate, high-protein, low-fat versus low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat enteral feeds for burns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
Severe burn injuries increase patients' metabolic needs. Aggressive high-protein enteral feeding is used in the post-burn period to improve recovery and healing.
- High‐dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation versus conventional chemotherapy for women with early poor prognosis breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-May-2016
Overall survival rates are disappointing for women with early poor prognosis breast cancer. Autologous transplantation of bone marrow or peripheral stem cells (in which the woman is both donor and recipient) has been considered a promising technique becau
- High‐dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow or stem cell transplantation versus conventional chemotherapy for women with metastatic breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jul-2005
Although metastatic breast cancer is often responsive to conventional chemotherapy, it remains ultimately incurable. Autologous transplantation of bone marrow or peripheral stem cells (in which the patient is both donor and recipient) has been considered
- High‐dose chemotherapy and autologous haematopoietic stem cell rescue for children with high‐risk neuroblastoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Oct-2015
Despite the development of new treatment options, the prognosis of high-risk neuroblastoma patients is still poor; more than half of patients experience disease recurrence. High-dose chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell rescue (i.e. myeloablative the
- High‐dose chemotherapy followed by autologous haematopoietic cell transplantation for children, adolescents, and young adults with first recurrence of Ewing sarcoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2021
Ewing sarcoma is a solid tumour, which is the second most common primary bone malignancy in children, often occurring in the long bones and pelvis. An incidence rate of 4.5 per million a year is reported, with a peak incidence of 11 per million at the age
- High‐dose chemotherapy followed by autologous haematopoietic cell transplantation for children, adolescents, and young adults with primary metastatic Ewing sarcoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2021
Ewing sarcomas are solid tumours of the bone and soft tissue, that usually affect children, adolescents, and young adults. The incidence is about three cases per million a year, with a peak incidence at 12 years of age. Metastatic disease is detected in a
- High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation for patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jun-2013
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most common malignancies in young adults and has become curable for the majority of patients, even in advanced stage. After first-line therapy, 15% to 20% do not respond to treatment and relapse. For those patients, hig
