- Antenatal dietary supplementation with myo-inositol in women during pregnancy for preventing gestational diabetes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2015
Gestational diabetes, glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy, is a rising problem worldwide. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches to the prevention of gestational diabetes have been, and continue to be expl
- Antenatal education for self-diagnosis of the onset of active labour at term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Dec-2012
A specific program designed to teach women to recognise active labour may be beneficial through potentially decreasing the incidence of early admission to hospital, increasing women's confidence, feelings of control and empowerment, and decreasing their a
- Antenatal immunoglobulin for fetal red blood cell alloimmunization
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Apr-2013
Red blood cell alloimmunization in pregnancy can lead to fetal anaemia with potentially disastrous consequences. Traditional management involves the use of intrauterine transfusion, which is associated with significant procedure-related risks. An alternat
- Antenatal interventions for fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Apr-2011
Fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia results from the formation of antibodies by the mother which are directed against a fetal platelet alloantigen inherited from the father. The resulting fetal thrombocytopenia (reduced platelet numbers) may cause bl
- Antenatal interventions for preventing the transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) from the mother to fetus during pregnancy and adverse outcomes in the congenitally infected infant
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2011
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpesvirus and the most common cause of congenital infection in developed countries. Congenital CMV infection can have devastating consequences to the fetus. The high incidence and the serious morbidity associated with congenit
- Antenatal interventions for reducing weight in obese women for improving pregnancy outcome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Dec-2012
Being obese and pregnant is associated with substantial risks for the mother and her child. Current weight management guidance for obese pregnant women is limited. The latest recommendations suggest that obese pregnant women should gain between 5.0 and 9.
- Antenatal lower genital tract infection screening and treatment programs for preventing preterm delivery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jan-2015
Genital tract infection is associated with preterm birth (before 37 weeks' gestation). Screening for infections during pregnancy may therefore reduce the numbers of babies being born prematurely. However, screening for infections may have some adverse eff
- Antenatal perineal massage for reducing perineal trauma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2013
Perineal trauma following vaginal birth can be associated with significant short-term and long-term morbidity. Antenatal perineal massage has been proposed as one method of decreasing the incidence of perineal trauma.
- Antenatal phenobarbital for reducing neonatal jaundice after red cell isoimmunization
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jul-2009
Neonates from isoimmunized pregnancies have increased morbidity from neonatal jaundice. The increased bilirubin from haemolysis often needs phototherapy, exchange transfusion or both after birth. Various trials in pregnant women who were not isoimmunized
- Antenatal psychosocial assessment for reducing perinatal mental health morbidity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Mental health conditions arising in the perinatal period, including depression, have the potential to impact negatively on not only the woman but also her partner, infant, and family. The capacity for routine, universal antenatal psychosocial assessment,
- Anterior vaginal repair for urinary incontinence in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2009
Anterior vaginal repair (anterior colporrhaphy) is an operation traditionally used for moderate or severe stress urinary incontinence in women. About a third of adult women experience urinary incontinence.
- Anthelmintics for people with neurocysticercosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Jun-2021
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection of the central nervous system by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm and is a common cause of seizures and epilepsy in endemic areas. Anthelmintics (albendazole or praziquantel) may be given alongside supporti
- Anthracycline-containing regimens for treatment of follicular lymphoma in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2013
Anthracycline-containing regimens (ACR) are the most prevalent regimens in the management of patients with advanced follicular lymphoma (FL). However, there is no proof that they are superior to non-anthracycline-containing regimens (non-ACR).
- Anti-adhesion therapy following operative hysteroscopy for treatment of female subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2015
Limited observational evidence suggests potential benefit for subfertile women undergoing operative hysteroscopy with several anti-adhesion therapies (e.g. insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) or balloon, hormonal treatment, barrier gels or human amn
- Antiamoebic drugs for treating amoebic colitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2009
Entamoeba histolytica infection is common in developing countries, and up to 100,000 individuals with severe disease die every year. Adequate therapy for amoebic colitis is necessary to reduce the severity of illness, prevent development of complicated di
- Anti-angiogenic therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-May-2009
Angiogenesis inhibitors have been developed to block tumour angiogenesis and target vascular endothelial cells. While some of them have already been approved by the health authorities and are successfully integrated into patient care, many others are stil

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Nov-2018
This is an updated version of the original Cochrane Review published in September 2014. The most common primary brain tumours in adults are gliomas. Gliomas span a spectrum from low to high grade and are graded pathologically on a scale of one to four acc

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2010
Antiangiogenic therapy is a new approach to the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Interferon alfa is one antiangiogenic agent thought to function by inhibiting the migration and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells. It has
- Antiarrhythmics for maintaining sinus rhythm after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Apr-2015
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent sustained arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation frequently recurs after restoration of normal sinus rhythm. Antiarrhythmic drugs have been widely used to prevent recurrence, but the effect of these drugs on mortality and
- Antibacterial agents in composite restorations for the prevention of dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2014
Dental caries is a multifactorial disease in which the fermentation of food sugars by bacteria from the biofilm (dental plaque) leads to localised demineralisation of tooth surfaces, which may ultimately result in cavity formation. Resin composites are wi
