- Internal dressings for healing perianal abscess cavities
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Aug-2016
A perianal abscess is a collection of pus under the skin, around the anus. It usually occurs due to an infection of an anal gland. In the UK, the annual incidence is 40 per 100,000 of the adult population, and the standard treatment is admission to hospit
- Internal fixation implants for intracapsular hip fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2001
Numerous different implants with screws, pins and side plates have been used for the internal fixation of intracapsular hip fractures.
- Internal fixation implants for intracapsular hip fractures in older adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Mar-2021
Hip fractures are a major healthcare problem, presenting a huge challenge and burden to patients, healthcare systems and society. The increased proportion of older adults in the world population means that the absolute number of hip fractures is rising ra
- Internal fixation versus arthroplasty for intracapsular proximal femoral fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Displaced intracapsular fractures may be treated by either reduction and internal fixation, which preserves the femoral head, or by replacement of the femoral head with an arthroplasty. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2003 and pr
- Internal iliac artery revascularisation versus internal iliac artery occlusion for endovascular treatment of aorto‐iliac aneurysms
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2020
Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is used to treat aorto-iliac and isolated iliac aneurysms in selected patients, and prospective studies have shown advantages compared with open surgical repair, mainly in the first years of follow-up. Although t
- Internal versus external tocodynamometry during induced or augmented labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2013
Uterine contractions can be registered by external tocodynamometry (ET) or, after rupture of the membranes, by internal tocodynamometry (IT). Monitoring of the frequency of contractions is important especially when intravenous oxytocin is used as excessiv

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Mar-2021
In late 2019, the first cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were reported in Wuhan, China, followed by a worldwide spread. Numerous countries have implemented control measures related to international travel, including border closures, travel res

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-May-2021
Therapist-delivered trauma-focused psychological therapies are effective for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and have become the accepted first-line treatments. Despite the established evidence-base for these therapies, they are not always widely av
- Internet‐based interventions for smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Sep-2017
Tobacco use is estimated to kill 7 million people a year. Nicotine is highly addictive, but surveys indicate that almost 70% of US and UK smokers would like to stop smoking. Although many smokers attempt to give up on their own, advice from a health profe

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2015
The Internet could provide a means of delivering secondary prevention programmes to people with coronary heart disease (CHD).
- Interposition vein cuff for infragenicular prosthetic bypass graft
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jul-2013
The use of prosthetic grafts such as polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) or Dacron to bypass occluded arteries in the lower leg is an accepted practice in the absence of suitable autologous vein. The aim is limb salvage or functional improvement in critical lim
- Interprofessional collaboration to improve professional practice and healthcare outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jun-2017
Poor interprofessional collaboration (IPC) can adversely affect the delivery of health services and patient care. Interventions that address IPC problems have the potential to improve professional practice and healthcare outcomes.
- Interprofessional education: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Mar-2013
The delivery of effective, high-quality patient care is a complex activity. It demands health and social care professionals collaborate in an effective manner. Research continues to suggest that collaboration between these professionals can be problematic
- Interrupted versus uninterrupted anticoagulation therapy for catheter ablation in adults with arrhythmias
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Oct-2021
The management of anticoagulation therapy around the time of catheter ablation (CA) procedure for adults with arrhythmia is critical and yet is variable in clinical practice. The ideal approach for safe and effective perioperative management should balanc
- Interspace/interdental brushes for oral hygiene in orthodontic patients with fixed appliances
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Sep-2013
Accumulation of plaque on tooth surfaces that have fixed orthodontic appliances is increased. Effective removal is essential to maintain oral health but it is unclear whether the use of interdental or interspace brushes is useful.
- Interval brain imaging for adults with cerebral glioma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Dec-2019
Clinical practice guidelines suggest that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain should be performed at certain time points or intervals distant from diagnosis (interval or surveillance imaging) of cerebral glioma, to monitor or follow up the disea
- Interval debulking surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jan-2016
Interval debulking surgery (IDS), following induction or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, may have a role in treating advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (stage III to IV) where primary debulking surgery is not an option.
