Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Aug-2009
Aspirin is the most widely studied and prescribed antiplatelet agent for preventing serious vascular events, reducing the odds of such events among high vascular risk patients by about a quarter. Thienopyridine derivatives inhibit platelet activation by a

So-called 'third wave' cognitive and behavioural therapies represent a new generation of psychological therapies that are increasingly being used in the treatment of psychological problems. However, the effectiveness and acceptability of third-wave cognit
- Thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) versus open surgery for blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Sep-2015
Blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is a life-threatening surgical emergency associated with mortality up to 8000 per year, most commonly caused by rapid acceleration/deceleration injury sustained through motor vehicle accident and/or blunt thor
- Thoracic imaging tests for the diagnosis of COVID‐19
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2022
Our March 2021 edition of this review showed thoracic imaging computed tomography (CT) to be sensitive and moderately specific in diagnosing COVID-19 pneumonia. This new edition is an update of the review.

- Three- or four- versus two-drug antiretroviral maintenance regimens for HIV infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Combination antiretroviral therapy administered to HIV-infected individuals has been shown to decrease viral replication, improve immunologic function and delay the progression of HIV infection. However, because patient adherence to complicated combinatio
- Thrombelastography (TEG) or thromboelastometry (ROTEM) to monitor haemotherapy versus usual care in patients with massive transfusion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2013
Severe bleeding and coagulopathy as a result of massive transfusion are serious clinical conditions that are associated with high mortality. Thromboelastography (TEG) and thromboelastometry (ROTEM) are increasingly used to guide transfusion strategy but t
- Thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) for trauma‑induced coagulopathy in adult trauma patients with bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2015
Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a disorder of the blood clotting process that occurs soon after trauma injury. A diagnosis of TIC on admission is associated with increased mortality rates, increased burdens of transfusion, greater risks of complicati
- Thrombolysis (different doses, routes of administration and agents) for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Apr-2013
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability world wide. Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is licensed for treatment of acute ischaemic stroke in the early hours after symptom onset. It has been shown in randomised co
- Thrombolysis for acute deep vein thrombosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2014
Standard treatment for deep vein thrombosis aims to reduce immediate complications. Use of thrombolysis or clot dissolving drugs could reduce the long-term complications of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) (pain, swelling, skin discolouration, or venous ulc
- Thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2014
Most strokes are due to blockage of an artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt treatment with thrombolytic drugs can restore blood flow before major brain damage has occurred and improve recovery after stroke in some people. Thrombolytic drugs, howeve
- Thrombolysis for cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Oct-2008
Treatment of cerebral sinus thrombosis with thrombolytics has been reported in cases with a deteriorating clinical course despite anticoagulant therapy. The rationale of this treatment is to promote rapid recanalisation of the occluded sinus.
