- Nutritional interventions for reducing gastrointestinal toxicity in adults undergoing radical pelvic radiotherapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2013
Across the developed world, an estimated 150,000 to 300,000 people are treated annually with pelvic radiotherapy and 80% will develop gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms during treatment. Acute GI symptoms are associated with a greater risk of chronic, often d
- Nutritional interventions for reducing morbidity and mortality in people with HIV
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2013
Adequate nutrition is important for optimal immune and metabolic function. Dietary support may, therefore, improve clinical outcomes in HIV-infected individuals by reducing the incidence of HIV-associated complications and attenuating progression of HIV d
- Nutritional interventions for survivors of childhood cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Aug-2016
Childhood cancer survivors are at a higher risk of developing health conditions such as osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease than their peers. Health-promoting behaviour, such as consuming a healthy diet, could lessen the impact of these chronic issue
- Nutritional interventions for treating foot ulcers in people with diabetes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2020
Foot ulcers in people with diabetes are non-healing, or poorly healing, partial, or full-thickness wounds below the ankle. These ulcers are common, expensive to manage and cause significant morbidity and mortality. The presence of a wound has an impact on
- Nutritional labelling for healthier food or non‐alcoholic drink purchasing and consumption
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2018
Nutritional labelling is advocated as a means to promote healthier food purchasing and consumption, including lower energy intake. Internationally, many different nutritional labelling schemes have been introduced. There is no consensus on whether such la
- Nutritional screening for improving professional practice for patient outcomes in hospital and primary care settings
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jun-2013
Given the prevalence of under-nutrition and reports of inadequate nutritional management of patients in hospitals and the community, nutritional screening may play a role in reducing the risks of malnutrition. Screening programmes can invoke costs to heal
- Nutritional supplementation for hip fracture aftercare in older people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2009
Older people with hip fractures are often malnourished at the time of fracture, and have poor food intake subsequently.
- Nutritional supplementation for nonalcohol‐related fatty liver disease: a network meta‐analysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2021
The prevalence of non-alcohol-related fatty liver disease (NAFLD) varies between 19% and 33% in different populations. NAFLD decreases life expectancy and increases risks of liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and the requirement for liver transpla
- Nutritional supplementation for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2012
Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and low body weight have impaired pulmonary status, reduced diaphragmatic mass, lower exercise capacity and higher mortality than those who are adequately nourished. Nutritional support may be
- Nutritional supplements for patients being treated for active visceral leishmaniasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2018
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease caused by a parasite, which can lead to death if untreated. Poor nutritional status hastens the progression of VL infection, and VL worsens malnutrition status. Malnutrition is one of the poor prognostic factors id
- Nutritional supplements for people being treated for active tuberculosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2011
Tuberculosis and malnutrition are linked in a complex relationship. The infection may cause undernutrition through increased metabolic demands and decreased intake, and nutritional deficiencies may worsen the disease, or delay recovery by depressing impor
- Nutritional support for acute kidney injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2012
Treatment for acute kidney Injury (AKI) primarily relies on treating the underlying cause and maintaining the patient until kidney function has recovered. Enteral and parenteral nutrition are commonly used to treat nutritional disorders in AKI patients, h
- Nutritional support for critically ill children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2009
Nutritional support in the critically ill child has not been well investigated and is a controversial topic within paediatric intensive care. There are no clear guidelines as to the best form or timing of nutrition in critically ill infants and children.
- Nutritional support for head-injured patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Head injury increases the body's metabolic responses, and therefore nutritional demands. Provision of an adequate supply of nutrients is associated with improved outcome. The best route for administering nutrition (parenterally (TPN) or enterally (EN)), a
- Nutritional support for liver disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2012
Weight loss and muscle wasting are commonly found in patients with end-stage liver disease. Since there is an association between malnutrition and poor clinical outcome, such patients (or those at risk of becoming malnourished) are often given parenteral
- Nutritional support in children and young people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Aug-2015
It is well documented that malnutrition is a common complication of paediatric malignancy and its treatment. Malnutrition can often be a consequence of cancer itself or a result of chemotherapy. Nutritional support aims to reverse malnutrition seen at dia
- Nutrition‐specific interventions for preventing and controlling anaemia throughout the life cycle: an overview of systematic reviews
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2021
Anaemia is a prevalent health problem worldwide. Some types are preventable or controllable with iron supplementation (pills or drops), fortification (sprinkles or powders containing iron added to food) or improvements to dietary diversity and quality (e.
- Nystatin prophylaxis and treatment in severely immunodepressed patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2014
Nystatin is sometimes used prophylactically in patients with severe immunodeficiency or in the treatment of fungal infection in such patients, although its effect seems to be equivocal.
- Obstetric outcomes after conservative treatment for cervical intraepithelial lesions and early invasive disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Nov-2017
The mean age of women undergoing local treatment for pre-invasive cervical disease (cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia; CIN) or early cervical cancer (stage IA1) is around their 30s and similar to the age of women having their first child. Local cervical
- Occlusal adjustment for treating and preventing temporomandibular joint disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jan-2016
There has been a long history of using occlusal adjustment in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is not clear if occlusal adjustment is effective in treating TMD.
