- Procalcitonin, C‐reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Sep-2020
In children with urinary tract infection (UTI), only those with pyelonephritis (and not cystitis) are at risk for developing long-term renal sequelae. If non-invasive biomarkers could accurately differentiate children with cystitis from children with pyel
- Procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine for recurrent high‐grade glioma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jul-2017
Recurrent high-grade glioma (HGG) carries an extremely poor prognosis. There is no current standard of care or guideline-based recommendations. Nitrosourea-based multidrug chemotherapy or PCV — procarbazine, lomustine (CCNU) and vincristine — is one of th
- Processed electroencephalogram and evoked potential techniques for amelioration of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction following non‐cardiac and non‐neurosurgical procedures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-May-2018
Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) may complicate a patient's postoperative recovery in several ways. Monitoring of processed electroencephalogram (EEG) or evoked potential (EP) indices may prevent or minimize POD
- Processed versus fresh frozen bone for impaction bone grafting in revision hip arthroplasty
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Impaction grafting is a technique to restore bone loss both in the femur and the acetabulum during revision hip arthroplasty surgery. Initially impaction grafting was undertaken using fresh frozen femoral head allografts that were milled to create morseli
- Pro‐coagulant haemostatic factors for the prevention and treatment of bleeding in people without haemophilia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Dec-2018
Some hospital patients may be at risk of or may present with major bleeding. Abnormalities of clotting (coagulation) are often recorded in these people, and the traditional management has been with transfusions of blood components, either to prevent bleed
- Professional interventions for general practitioners on the management of musculoskeletal conditions
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2016
Musculoskeletal conditions require particular management skills. Identification of interventions which are effective in equipping general practitioners (GPs) with such necessary skills could translate to improved health outcomes for patients and reduced h
- Professional, structural and organisational interventions in primary care for reducing medication errors
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2017
Medication-related adverse events in primary care represent an important cause of hospital admissions and mortality. Adverse events could result from people experiencing adverse drug reactions (not usually preventable) or could be due to medication errors
- Progestagens and anti‐progestagens for pain associated with endometriosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2012
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition defined by the presence of glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It occurs in 7% to 10% of all women of reproductive age and may present as pain or infertility. The pelvic pain may be in the form o
- Progestational agents for treating threatened or established preterm labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jan-2014
Prematurity is not only the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality but is associated with long-term impairment. Studies of various tocolytic agents have shown mixed results with little effect in improving pregnancy duration and insufficient da
- Progesterone for acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Dec-2016
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability, and the identification of effective, inexpensive and widely practicable treatments for brain injury is of great public health importance worldwide. Progesterone is a naturally produc
- Progesterone for premenstrual syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2012
About 5% of women experience severe symptoms called premenstrual syndrome (PMS), only in the two weeks before their menstrual periods. Treatment with progesterone may restore a deficiency, balance menstrual hormone levels or reduce effects of falling prog
- Progesterone for preventing pre‐eclampsia and its complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
In the past, progesterone has been advocated for prevention of pre-eclampsia. Although progestogens were never widely used for this purpose in clinical practice, new hypothesis have emerged which suggest progesterone may have a role in promoting immunolog
- Progesterone receptor modulators for endometriosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jul-2017
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. This condition is oestrogen-dependent and thus is seen primarily during the reproductive years. Owing to their antiproliferative effects in the
- Progestin intrauterine devices versus copper intrauterine devices for emergency contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2023
The copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) is a highly effective method of contraception that can also be used for emergency contraception (EC). It is the most effective form of EC, and is more effective than other existing oral regimens also used for EC. Th
- Progestin‐only contraceptives: effects on weight
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Aug-2016
Progestin-only contraceptives (POCs) are appropriate for many women who cannot or should not take estrogen. POCs include injectables, intrauterine contraception, implants, and oral contraceptives. Many POCs are long-acting, cost-effective methods of preve
- Progestin-only pills for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2013
The introduction of a new progestin-only oral contraceptive in Europe has renewed interest in this class of oral contraceptives. Unlike the more widely used combined oral contraceptives containing an estrogen plus progestin, these pills contain only a pro
- Progestogen for preventing miscarriage in women with recurrent miscarriage of unclear etiology
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Nov-2019
Progesterone, a female sex hormone, is known to induce secretory changes in the lining of the uterus essential for successful implantation of a fertilized egg. It has been suggested that a causative factor in many cases of miscarriage may be inadequate se
- Progestogen for treating threatened miscarriage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Aug-2018
Miscarriage is a common complication encountered during pregnancy. It is defined as spontaneous pregnancy loss before 20 weeks' gestation. Progesterone's physiological role is to prepare the uterus for the implantation of the embryo, enhance uterine quies
- Progestogen‐releasing intrauterine systems for heavy menstrual bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jun-2020
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) impacts the quality of life of otherwise healthy women. The perception of HMB is subjective and management depends upon, among other factors, the severity of the symptoms, a woman's age, her wish to get pregnant, and the pre
- Progestogen‐releasing intrauterine systems versus other forms of reversible contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2004
Hormonally impregnated intrauterine systems (IUSs) add a progestogen to a non-medicated contraceptive device to improve contraceptive action.
