- Pre-emptive treatment for cytomegalovirus viraemia to prevent cytomegalovirus disease in solid organ transplant recipients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jan-2013
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Pre-emptive treatment of patients with CMV viraemia using antiviral agents has been suggested as an alternative to routine prophylaxis to prevent
- Preformed crowns for decayed primary molar teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Dec-2015
Crowns for primary molars are preformed and come in a variety of sizes and materials to be placed over decayed or developmentally defective teeth. They can be made completely of stainless steel (know as 'preformed metal crowns' or PMCs), or to give better
- Pregabalin add‐on for drug‐resistant focal epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jul-2019
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that affects approximately 1% of the UK population. Approximately one-third of these people continue to have seizures despite drug treatment. Pregabalin is one of the newer antiepileptic drugs which have been deve
- Pregabalin for chronic prostatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jun-2012
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a condition that is detrimental to the quality of life of men. Evidence suggests that it may have a neuropathic origin and therefore medications such as pregabalin might have a role in the cont
- Pregabalin for decreasing pancreatic pain in chronic pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Feb-2016
Chronic abdominal pain is one of the major symptoms in people with chronic pancreatitis. The role of pregabalin in people with chronic pancreatic pain due to chronic pancreatitis is uncertain.
- Pregabalin for essential tremor
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2016
Essential tremor is one of the most common movement disorders. Treatment primarily consists of pharmacological agents. While primidone and propranolol are well-established treatments in clinical practice, they may be ineffective in 25% to 55% of patients
- Pregabalin for neuropathic pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jan-2019
This review updates part of an earlier Cochrane Review titled "Pregabalin for acute and chronic pain in adults", and considers only neuropathic pain (pain from damage to nervous tissue). Antiepileptic drugs have long been used in pain management. Pregabal
- Pregabalin for pain in fibromyalgia in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Sep-2016
This review updates part of an earlier Cochrane review on 'Pregabalin for acute and chronic pain in adults' (Moore 2009), and considers only fibromyalgia pain.
- Pregabalin monotherapy for epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Aug-2012
Many people with epilepsy suffer from poorly controlled seizures, despite current antiepileptic treatments. Due to high rates of treatment resistance, there is interest in new pharmacological treatment options such as pregabalin. However, it remains uncle
- Prehabilitation exercise therapy before elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jul-2021
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an abnormal dilation in the diameter of the abdominal aorta of 50% or more of the normal diameter or greater than 3 cm in total. The risk of rupture increases with the diameter of the aneurysm, particularly above a di
- Prehospital stroke scales as screening tools for early identification of stroke and transient ischemic attack
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Apr-2019
Rapid and accurate detection of stroke by paramedics or other emergency clinicians at the time of first contact is crucial for timely initiation of appropriate treatment. Several stroke recognition scales have been developed to support the initial triage.
- Pre‐hospital versus in‐hospital initiation of cooling for survival and neuroprotection after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2016
Targeted temperature management (also known under 'therapeutic hypothermia', 'induced hypothermia'", or 'cooling') has been shown to be beneficial for neurological outcome in patients who have had successful resuscitation from sudden cardiac arrest, but i
- Pre-hospital versus in-hospital thrombolysis for ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Sep-2014
Early thrombolysis for individuals experiencing a myocardial infarction is associated with better mortality and morbidity outcomes. While traditionally thrombolysis is given in hospital, pre-hospital thrombolysis is proposed as an effective intervention t
- Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (abnormal number of chromosomes) in in vitro fertilisation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2020
In in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), selection of the most competent embryo(s) for transfer is based on morphological criteria. However, many women do not achieve a pregnancy even after 'good quality' em
- Premedication for anxiety in adult day surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Since the early 1980s, it has become more and more common to carry out surgical procedures on a day case basis. Many patients are anxious before surgery yet there is sometimes a reluctance to provide sedative medication because it is believed to delay dis
- Prenatal administration of progesterone for preventing preterm birth in women considered to be at risk of preterm birth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jul-2015
Preterm birth is a major complication of pregnancy associated with perinatal mortality and morbidity. Progesterone for the prevention of preterm labour has been advocated.
- Prenatal administration of progestogens for preventing spontaneous preterm birth in women with a multiple pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Nov-2019
Multiple pregnancy is a strong risk factor for preterm birth, and more than 50% of women with a twin pregnancy will give birth prior to 37 weeks' gestation. Infants born preterm are recognised to be at increased risk of many adverse health outcomes, contr
- Prenatal education for congenital toxoplasmosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2015
Congenital toxoplasmosis is considered a rare but potentially severe infection. Prenatal education about congenital toxoplasmosis could be the most efficient and least harmful intervention, yet its effectiveness is uncertain.
- Prenatal interventions for congenital diaphragmatic hernia for improving outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Nov-2015
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), is an uncommon but severe condition in which there is a developmental defect in the fetal diaphragm, resulting in liver and bowel migrating to the chest cavity and impairing lung development and function for the neon
- Prenatal versus postnatal repair procedures for spina bifida for improving infant and maternal outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Oct-2014
Spina bifida is a fetal neural tube defect (NTD), which may be diagnosed in utero and is compatible with life postnatally, albeit often with significant disability and morbidity. Although postnatal repair is possible, with increasing in utero diagnosis wi
