- Role of chemotherapy additional to high-dose methotrexate for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2012
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a variant of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that accounts for about 2% to 5% of all primary intracranial tumours with immunocompetent patients. It appears at a median age of 62 years. A standard of
- Rooming‐in for new mother and infant versus separate care for increasing the duration of breastfeeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Aug-2016
Mother-infant proximity and interactions after birth and during the early postpartum period are important for breast-milk production and breastfeeding success. Rooming-in and separate care are both traditional practices. Rooming-in involves keeping the mo
- Root canal posts for the restoration of root filled teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Nov-2016
The foundation for the reconstruction of endodontically-treated teeth can be provided by a metal or a non-metal post and core system but no guidelines exist for choosing one or the other in particular clinical cases.
- Root coverage procedures for treating localised and multiple recession-type defects
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2018
Gingival recession is defined as the oral exposure of the root surface due to a displacement of the gingival margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction and it is regularly linked to the deterioration of dental aesthetics. Successful treatment of recessi
- Ropinirole for levodopa-induced complications in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2015
Long-term levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease is complicated by the development of motor fluctuations and abnormal involuntary movements. One approach is to add a dopamine agonist at this stage of the disease to reduce the time the patient spends imm
- Ropinirole versus bromocriptine for levodopa‐induced complications in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
Long-term levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease is complicated by the development of motor fluctuations and abnormal involuntary movements. One approach is to add a dopamine agonist at this stage of the disease to reduce the time the patient spends imm
- Roselle for hypertension in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Nov-2021
Hypertension is considered to be a serious health problem worldwide. Controlling and lowering blood pressure are of significant benefit to people with hypertension because hypertension is a risk factor for stroke, heart disease, and cardiovascular disease
- Rosiglitazone for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2007
Diabetes has long been recognised as a strong, independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, a problem which accounts for approximately 70% of all mortality in people with diabetes. Prospective studies show that compared to their non-diabetic counte
- Rosuvastatin for lowering lipids
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jan-2017
Rosuvastatin is one of the most potent statins and is currently widely prescribed. It is therefore important to know the dose-related magnitude of effect of rosuvastatin on blood lipids.
- Rotavirus vaccine for preventing diarrhoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2004
Rotaviruses cause viral gastroenteritis and result in more deaths from diarrhoea in children under 5 years of age than any other single agent, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
- Route of antibiotic prophylaxis for prevention of cerebrospinal fluid‐shunt infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jun-2019
The main complication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt surgery is shunt infection. Prevention of these shunt infections consists of the perioperative use of antibiotics that can be administered in five different ways: orally; intravenously; intrathecall
- Routes of administration of antibiotic prophylaxis for preventing infection after caesarean section
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jun-2016
Post-caesarean section infection is a cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Administration of antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for preventing infection after caesarean delivery. The route of administration of antibiotic prophylaxis should be eff
- Routine abdominal drainage for uncomplicated liver resection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
The main reasons for inserting a drain after elective liver resections are (i) prevention of sub-phrenic or sub-hepatic fluid collection; (ii) identification and monitoring of post-operative bleeding; (iii) identification and drainage of any bile leak; an

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Cholecystectomy is the removal of gallbladder and is performed mainly for symptomatic gallstones. Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently preferred over open cholecystectomy for elective cholecystectomy, reports of randomised clinical trials co
- Routine abdominal drainage versus no abdominal drainage for uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2013
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the main method of treatment of symptomatic gallstones. Drains are used after laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent abdominal collections. However, drain use may increase infective complications and delay discharge.
