- Iodine supplementation for preventing iodine deficiency disorders in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Iodine deficiency is the main cause of potentially preventable mental retardation in childhood, as well as causing goitre and hypothyroidism in people of all ages. It is still prevalent in large parts of the world.
- Iodine supplementation for the prevention of mortality and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Sep-2008
Parenteral nutrition solutions, formula milks, and human breast milk contain insufficient iodine to meet recommended intakes for preterm infants. Iodine deficiency may exacerbate transient hypothyroxinaemia in preterm infants and this may be associated wi
- Iodised salt for preventing iodine deficiency disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Iodine deficiency is the main cause for potentially preventable mental retardation in childhood, as well as causing goitre and hypothyroidism in people of all ages. It is still prevalent in large parts of the world.
- Ionisers for chronic asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jul-2012
Previous reports have shown that ion content in the air may have an effect on respiratory function. Results from studies which test the efficacy of air ionisers to reduce asthma symptoms are often inconclusive and their use as a treatment for asthma remai
- Ipratropium bromide versus long-acting beta-2 agonists for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2008
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition associated with high morbidity, mortality and cost to the community. Patients often report symptomatic improvement with long acting beta-2 agonists (LABAs) and anticholinergic bronchodilator medi
- Ipratropium bromide versus short acting beta-2 agonists for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Apr-2009
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition associated with high morbidity, mortality and cost to the community. Patients often report symptomatic improvement with short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA) and anticholinergic bronchodilator medi
- Irinotecan chemotherapy combined with fluoropyrimidines versus irinotecan alone for overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with advanced and/or metastatic colorectal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2016
Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice in patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) where surgical resection of metastases is not an option. Both irinotecan (IRI) and fluoropyrimidines are often included in first- or second- line chemo
- Iron and folate supplementation in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2008
Anaemia in pregnancy is a major health problem in many developing countries where nutritional deficiency, malaria and other parasitic infections contribute to increased maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity.
- Iron chelators for acute stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Nov-2020
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of morbidity worldwide. Retrospective clinical and animal studies have demonstrated neuroprotective effects of iron chelators in people with haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke. This is the first
- Iron for restless legs syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2012
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurologic syndrome and is associated with iron deficiency in many patients. It is unclear whether iron therapy is effective treatment for RLS.
- Iron supplementation for breath-holding attacks in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jun-2010
Breath-holding attacks are common during childhood. Iron supplementation has been claimed to reduce the frequency or severity, or both, of breath-holding attacks in children.
- Iron supplementation for reducing morbidity and mortality in children with HIV
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2014
This review will not be updated. It should be considered out of date. It has been superseded by this review:
- Iron supplementation in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Oct-2008
Anaemia in pregnancy is a major health problem in many developing countries where nutritional deficiency, malaria and other parasitic infections contribute to increased maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity.
- Iron therapy for improving psychomotor development and cognitive function in children under the age of three with iron deficiency anaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-May-2013
Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are common in young children. It has been suggested that the lack of iron may have deleterious effects on children's psychomotor development and cognitive function. To evaluate the benefits of iron therapy
- Iron therapy for pre-operative anaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Dec-2015
Pre-operative anaemia is common and occurs in up to 76% of patients. It is associated with increased peri-operative allogeneic blood transfusions, longer hospital lengths of stay and increased morbidity and mortality. Iron deficiency is one of the most co
- Iron therapy in anaemic adults without chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Dec-2014
Anaemia affects about a quarter of the world's population. An estimated 50% of anaemic people have anaemia due to iron deficiency.
- Iron-chelating agents for treating malaria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2008
It is still unclear whether iron-chelating agents, such as intravenous desferrioxamine (DFO) and oral deferiprone, given alone or added to standard antimalarial treatment would reduce malaria deaths.
- Irrigants for non-surgical root canal treatment in mature permanent teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Aug-2012
Root canal treatment is carried out on teeth in which irreversible pulpitis has led to necrosis of the dental pulp. As a treatment option it is an alternative to dental extraction. Mechanical preparation and irrigation with antiseptic or antibacterial sol
- Ischaemic pre-conditioning for elective liver resections performed under vascular occlusion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Nov-2008
Vascular occlusion is used to reduce blood loss during liver resection surgery. The enzyme markers of liver injury are elevated if vascular occlusion is employed during liver resection. It is not clear whether ischaemic preconditioning prior to vascular o
- Ischaemic preconditioning for liver transplantation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Ischaemic preconditioning is a mechanism for reducing organ ischaemia reperfusion injury by a brief period of organ ischaemia.
