- Omega-3 fatty acids supplementation for autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2011
It has been suggested that impairments associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may be partially explained by deficits of omega-3 fatty acids, and that supplementation of these essential fatty acids may lead to improvement of symptoms.
- Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2008
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk from cardiovascular disease. Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known to reduce triglyceride levels, but their impact on cholesterol levels, glycemic control and vascular outc
- Omentoplasty for oesophagogastrostomy after oesophagectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Oct-2014
Oesophagectomy followed by oesophagogastrostomy is the preferred treatment for early-stage oesophageal cancer. It carries the risk of anastomotic leakage after oesophagogastric anastomosis, which causes considerable morbidity and mortality and is one of t
- Once or twice daily versus three times daily amoxicillin with or without clavulanate for the treatment of acute otitis media
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2014
Acute otitis media (AOM) is a common problem in children, for which amoxicillin, with or without clavulanate, is frequently prescribed as a treatment of choice. The conventional recommendation is either three or four daily doses. However, nowadays it is f
- Once versus twice daily low molecular weight heparin for the initial treatment of venous thromboembolism
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-May-2015
In the initial treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is administered once or twice daily. A once daily treatment regimen is more convenient for the patient and may optimise home treatment. However, it is not clear w
- Once-daily versus multiple-daily dosing with intravenous aminoglycosides for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Feb-2014
People with cystic fibrosis, who are chronically colonised with the organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa, often require multiple courses of intravenous aminoglycoside antibiotics for the management of pulmonary exacerbations. The properties of aminoglycosides
- Oncoplastic breast‐conserving surgery for women with primary breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2021
Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (O-BCS) involves removing the tumour in the breast and using plastic surgery techniques to reconstruct the breast. The adequacy of published evidence on the safety and efficacy of O-BCS for the treatment of breast can
- One dose per day compared to multiple doses per day of gentamicin for treatment of suspected or proven sepsis in neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Sep-2011
Animal studies and trials in older children and adults suggest that a one dose per day regimen of gentamicin is superior to a multiple doses per day regimen.
- One topical fluoride (toothpastes, or mouthrinses, or gels, or varnishes) versus another for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Aug-2008
Topical fluorides in the form of toothpaste, mouthrinse, varnish and gel are effective caries preventive measures. However, there is uncertainty about the relative value of these interventions.
- One-to-one dietary interventions undertaken in a dental setting to change dietary behaviour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2012
The dental care setting is an appropriate place to deliver dietary assessment and advice as part of patient management. However, we do not know whether this is effective in changing dietary behaviour.
- One‐to‐one oral hygiene advice provided in a dental setting for oral health
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2018
Effective oral hygiene measures carried out on a regular basis are vital to maintain good oral health. One-to-one oral hygiene advice (OHA) within the dental setting is often provided as a means to motivate individuals and to help achieve improved levels
- On-site mental health workers delivering psychological therapy and psychosocial interventions to patients in primary care: effects on the professional practice of primary care providers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jun-2010
Mental health problems are common in primary care and mental health workers (MHWs) are increasingly working in this setting delivering psychological therapy and psychosocial interventions to patients. In addition to treating patients directly, the introdu
- Open general medical wards versus specialist psychiatric units for acute psychoses
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
As international healthcare policy has moved away from treating people with severe mental illness in large inpatient psychiatric institutions, beds for people with acute psychiatric disorders are being established in specialised psychiatric units in gener
- Open Mesh versus non-Mesh for groin hernia repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Sep-2011
Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequent operation in general surgery. Until recently the standard procedure has been open musculo-aponeurotic repair using sutures under tension to close the defect but 'tension-free' repair using prosthetic mesh is bec
- Open Preperitoneal Techniques versus Lichtenstein Repair for elective Inguinal Hernias
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jun-2012
Current techniques for inguinal hernia repair show similar recurrence rates. Therefore, recurrence is no longer the main issue discussed when considering improving the current standards for groin hernia repair. Post surgical chronic pain represents a majo
- Open retropubic colposuspension for urinary incontinence in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2016
Urinary incontinence is a common and potentially debilitating problem. Open retropubic colposuspension is a surgical treatment which involves lifting the tissues near the bladder neck and proximal urethra in the area behind the anterior pubic bones to cor
- Open surgical procedures for incisional hernias
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Dec-2010
Incisional hernias occur frequently after abdominal surgery and can cause serious complications. The choice of a type of open operative repair is controversial. Determining the type of open operative repair is controversial, as the recurrence rate may be
- Open versus closed surgical exposure of canine teeth that are displaced in the roof of the mouth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jun-2008
Palatal canines are upper permanent canine (eye) teeth that have become displaced in the roof of the mouth. They are a frequently occurring anomaly, present in 2% to 3% of the population. Management of this problem is both time consuming and expensive and
- Open versus laparoscopic (assisted) ileo pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Restorative proctocolectomy with ileo pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the main surgical treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). With the advancements of minimal-invasive surgery this demanding operati

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2010
Patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis are treated by three different techniques of cholecystectomy: open, small-incision, or laparoscopic. There is no overview on Cochrane systematic reviews on these three interventions.
