- High‐dose versus low‐dose oxytocin infusion regimens for induction of labour at term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Oct-2014
When women require induction of labour, oxytocin is the most common agent used, delivered by an intravenous infusion titrated to uterine contraction strength and frequency. There is debate over the optimum dose regimen and how it impacts on maternal and f
- Higher versus lower amino acid intake in parenteral nutrition for newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2018
Sick newborn and preterm infants frequently are not able to be fed enterally, necessitating parenteral fluid and nutrition. Potential benefits of higher parenteral amino acid (AA) intake for improved nitrogen balance, growth, and infant health may be outw
- Higher versus lower fraction of inspired oxygen or targets of arterial oxygenation for adults admitted to the intensive care unit
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Nov-2019
The mainstay treatment for hypoxaemia is oxygen therapy, which is given to the vast majority of adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The practice of oxygen administration has been liberal, which may result in hyperoxaemia. Some studies have i
- Higher versus lower protein intake in formula‐fed low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jun-2020
The ideal quantity of dietary protein for formula-fed low birth weight infants is still a matter of debate. Protein intake must be sufficient to achieve normal growth without leading to negative effects such as acidosis, uremia, and elevated levels of cir
- High-flow nasal cannula therapy for infants with bronchiolitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jan-2014
Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract illness, usually of viral aetiology, affecting infants younger than 24 months of age and is a frequent cause of hospitalisation. It causes airway inflammation, mucus production and mucous plugging, resulti
- High‐flow nasal cannula therapy for respiratory support in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Mar-2014
Respiratory support is a central component of the management of critically ill children. It can be delivered invasively via an endotracheal tube or non-invasively via face mask, nasal mask, nasal cannula or oxygen hood/tent. Invasive ventilation can be da
- High‐flow nasal cannulae for respiratory support in adult intensive care patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Mar-2021
High-flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) deliver high flows of blended humidified air and oxygen via wide-bore nasal cannulae and may be useful in providing respiratory support for adults experiencing acute respiratory failure, or at risk of acute respiratory fail
- High‐flux versus low‐flux membranes for end‐stage kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Sep-2012
Clinical practice guidelines regarding the use of high-flux haemodialysis membranes vary widely.
- High‐frequency oscillatory ventilation versus conventional ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2016
High-frequency oscillation (HFO) is an alternative to conventional mechanical ventilation that is sometimes used to treat people with acute respiratory distress syndrome, but effects on oxygenation, mortality and adverse clinical outcomes are uncertain. T
- High‐frequency ultrasound for diagnosing skin cancer in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Dec-2018
Early, accurate detection of all skin cancer types is essential to guide appropriate management and to improve morbidity and survival. Melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are high-risk skin cancers with the potential to metastasise and ultimately l
- High-intensity versus low-intensity physical activity or exercise in people with hip or knee osteoarthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2015
Exercise or physical activity is recommended for improving pain and functional status in people with knee or hip osteoarthritis. These are complex interventions whose effectiveness depends on one or more components that are often poorly identified. It has
- High‐volume haemofiltration for sepsis in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2017
Severe sepsis and septic shock are leading causes of death in the intensive care unit (ICU), despite advances in the treatment of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, including early recognition, appropriate treatment with antibiotics and support
- Hip protectors for preventing hip fractures in older people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Mar-2014
Older people living in nursing care facilities or older adults living at home are at high risk of falling and a hip fracture may occur after a fall. Hip protectors have been advocated as a means to reduce the risk of hip fracture. Hip protectors are plast
- Histamine H2-receptor antagonists for urticaria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Feb-2015
Urticaria is a common skin disease characterised by itching weals or hives, which can occur almost anywhere on the body. There are a number of different subtypes and a range of available treatment options. There is lack of agreement on the efficacy of H2-
- Histamine type 2 receptor antagonists as adjuvant treatment for resected colorectal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2012
Anecdotal reports of tumour regression with histamine type 2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) have lead to a series of trials with this class of drug as adjuvant therapy to try and improve outcomes in patients with resected colorectal cancers. There was a pla
- Histologic scoring indices for evaluation of disease activity in Crohn’s disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2017
Histologic assessment of mucosal disease activity has been increasingly used in clinical trials of treatment for Crohn's disease. However, the operating properties of the currently existing histologic scoring indices remain unclear.
- Histologic scoring indices for evaluation of disease activity in ulcerative colitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-May-2017
Disease activity can be determined using clinical, endoscopic or histologic criteria in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Persistent disease activity is associated with poor outcomes. Histologic disease activity has been shown to be associated with r
