- Individual recovery expectations and prognosis of outcomes in non‐specific low back pain: prognostic factor review
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Nov-2019
Low back pain is costly and disabling. Prognostic factor evidence can help healthcare providers and patients understand likely prognosis, inform the development of prediction models to identify subgroups, and may inform new treatment strategies. Recent st
- Individual‐, family‐, and school‐level interventions targeting multiple risk behaviours in young people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Oct-2018
Engagement in multiple risk behaviours can have adverse consequences for health during childhood, during adolescence, and later in life, yet little is known about the impact of different types of interventions that target multiple risk behaviours in child
- Individualised gonadotropin dose selection using markers of ovarian reserve for women undergoing in vitro fertilisation plus intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Feb-2018
During a cycle of in vitro fertilisation plus intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), women receive daily doses of gonadotropin follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to induce multifollicular development in the ovaries. Generally, the dose of FSH is ass
- Individualized versus standard diet fortification for growth and development in preterm infants receiving human milk
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Nov-2020
Human milk as compared to formula reduces morbidity in preterm infants but requires fortification to meet their nutritional needs and to reduce the risk of extrauterine growth failure. Standard fortification methods are not individualized to the infant an
- Individual‐level interventions to reduce personal exposure to outdoor air pollution and their effects on people with long‐term respiratory conditions
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2021
More than 90% of the global population lives in areas exceeding World Health Organization air quality limits. More than four million people each year are thought to die early due to air pollution, and poor air quality is thought to reduce an average Europ

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Apr-2020
Breast cancer will affect one in eight women during their lifetime. The opportunity to restore the removed tissue and cosmetic appearance is provided by reconstructive breast surgery following skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM). Mastectomy skin flap necrosis (
- Indomethacin for Alzheimer's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-May-2008
Inflammatory processes involving cytokines, prostaglandins, free radicals and glial cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin attenuate inflammatory reactions. Hence,
- Indomethacin for asymptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2003
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in premature infants. Indomethacin is an effective treatment to close a PDA, and has been used for many years with several treatment regimes, including prophylactic use i
- Indomethacin for intracranial hypertension secondary to severe traumatic brain injury in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Nov-2019
Among people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, increased intracranial pressure continues to be a major cause of early death; it is estimated that about 11 people per 100 with traumatic brain injury die.
- Indomethacin for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jan-2021
Symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is associated with mortality and morbidity in preterm infants. In these infants, prophylactic use of indomethacin, a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor, has demonstrated short-term clinical benefits. The effe
- Indoor air modification interventions for prolonged non-specific cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
Non-specific cough has been defined as non-productive cough in the absence of identifiable respiratory disease or known aetiology and is common in childhood. These children are treated with a variety of therapies, including non-pharmacological treatments.
- Indoor residual spraying for preventing malaria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2010
Primary malaria prevention on a large scale depends on two vector control interventions: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs). Historically, IRS has reduced malaria transmission in many settings in the world, but the
- Indoor residual spraying for preventing malaria in communities using insecticide‐treated nets
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2022
Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are used to prevent malaria transmission. Both interventions use insecticides to kill mosquitoes that bite and rest indoors. Adding IRS to ITNs may improve malaria control simply because t
