- Routine blood cultures in the management of pyelonephritis in pregnancy for improving outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jan-2015
Pyelonephritis is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that affects the upper urinary tract and kidneys, and is one of the most common conditions for hospitalisation among pregnant women, aside from delivery. Samples of urine and blood are obtained and
- Routine drainage for orthotopic liver transplantation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2011
Routine use of abdominal drainage in patients undergoing liver transplantation is controversial.
- Routine Health Information System (RHIS) improvements for strengthened health system management
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2020
A well-functioning routine health information system (RHIS) can provide the information needed for health system management, for governance, accountability, planning, policy making, surveillance and quality improvement, but poor information support has be
- Routine hospital admission versus out-patient or home care in children at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2008
In many places, children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus are admitted to hospital for metabolic stabilisation and training, even if they are not acutely ill. Out-patient or home based management of these children could avoid the stress assoc
- Routine intracranial pressure monitoring in acute coma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Nov-2015
We know that the brain damage resulting from traumatic and other insults is not due solely to the direct consequences of the primary injury. A significant and potentially preventable contribution to the overall morbidity arises from secondary hypoxic-isch
- Routine intraoperative ureteric stenting for kidney transplant recipients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jun-2013
Major urological complications (MUCs) after kidney transplantation contribute to patient morbidity and compromise graft function. The majority arise from the vesicoureteric anastomosis and present early after transplantation. Ureteric stents have been suc
- Routine invasive strategies versus selective invasive strategies for unstable angina and non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction in the stent era
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-May-2016
People with unstable angina and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (UA/NSTEMI) are managed with a combination of medical therapy, invasive angiography and revascularisation. Specifically, two approaches have evolved: either a 'routine invasive' strate
- Routine laboratory testing to determine if a patient has COVID‐19
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2020
Specific diagnostic tests to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and resulting COVID-19 disease are not always available and take time to obtain results. Routine laboratory markers such as white blood cell count, measures o
- Routine monitoring of gastric residual for prevention of necrotising enterocolitis in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jul-2019
Routine monitoring of gastric residual in preterm infants on gavage feeds is a common practice that is used to guide initiation and advancement of feeds. Some literature suggests that an increase in/or an altered gastric residual may be predictive of necr
- Routine neonatal circumcision for the prevention of urinary tract infections in infancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Oct-2012
Neonatal circumcision is a fairly common surgical procedure that may be carried out for medical reasons, one of them being prevention of urinary tract infections (UTI) in male infants. Circumcision could help in reducing the incidence of UTI by reducing p
- Routine or selective carotid artery shunting for carotid endarterectomy (and different methods of monitoring in selective shunting)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jun-2022
Temporary interruption of cerebral blood flow during carotid endarterectomy can be avoided by using a shunt across the clamped section of the carotid artery. The shunt may improve the outcome. This is an update of a Cochrane review originally published in
- Routine oro/nasopharyngeal suction versus no suction at birth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2017
Oro/nasopharyngeal suction is a method used to clear secretions from the oropharynx and nasopharynx through the application of negative pressure via a suction catheter or bulb syringe. Traditionally, airway oro/nasopharyngeal suction at birth has been use
- Routine perineal shaving on admission in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2014
Pubic or perineal shaving is a procedure performed before birth in order to lessen the risk of infection if there is a spontaneous perineal tear or if an episiotomy is performed.
- Routine preoperative medical testing for cataract surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jan-2019
Cataract surgery is practiced widely, and substantial resources are committed to an increasing cataract surgical rate in low- and middle-income countries. With the current volume of cataract surgery and future increases, it is critical to optimize the saf
- Routine pre‐pregnancy health promotion for improving pregnancy outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
A number of potentially modifiable risk factors are known to be associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. These include smoking, drinking excess alcohol, and poor nutrition. Routine health promotion (encompassing education, advice and general health assess
- Routine prophylactic drugs in normal labour for reducing gastric aspiration and its effects
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Women in normal labour may sometimes go on to have general anaesthesia if labour becomes abnormal, for example if a caesarean section is required. General anaesthesia carries a very small risk of regurgitation and inhalation of stomach contents into the l
- Routine provision of feedback from patient‐reported outcome measurements to healthcare providers and patients in clinical practice
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Oct-2021
Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) assess a patient’s subjective appraisal of health outcomes from their own perspective. Despite hypothesised benefits that feedback on PROMs can support decision-making in clinical practice and improve outcomes,
- Routine scale and polish for periodontal health in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Dec-2018
Many dentists or hygienists provide scaling and polishing for patients at regular intervals, even for those at low risk of developing periodontal disease. There is debate over the clinical and cost effectiveness of 'routine scaling and polishing' and the
- Routine surgery in addition to chemotherapy for treating spinal tuberculosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jan-2006
Tuberculosis is generally curable with chemotherapy, but there is controversy in the literature about the need for surgical intervention in the one to two per cent of people with tuberculosis of the spine.
- Routine ultrasound for fetal assessment before 24 weeks' gestation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Aug-2021
Ultrasound examination of pregnancy before 24 weeks gestation may lead to more accurate dating and earlier diagnosis of pathology, but may also give false reassurance. It can be used to monitor development or diagnose conditions of an unborn baby. This re
