The biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are very effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however there is a lack of head-to-head comparison studies.
- Biologics or tofacitinib for people with rheumatoid arthritis naive to methotrexate: a systematic review and network meta‐analysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-May-2017
Biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (biologics) are highly effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however there are few head-to-head biologic comparison studies. We performed a systematic review, a standard meta-analysis and a networ

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Mar-2017
Biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs: referred to as biologics) are effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), however there are few head-to-head comparison studies. Our systematic review, standard meta-analysis and network meta-a
- Biologics or tofacitinib for rheumatoid arthritis in incomplete responders to methotrexate or other traditional disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs: a systematic review and network meta‐analysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2016
This is an update of the 2009 Cochrane overview and network meta-analysis (NMA) of biologics for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Dec-2014
Neuro-Behçet Syndrome (NBS) is a severe chronic inflammatory vascular disease involving the Central Nervous System (CNS), and it is an invalidating condition with disability and a huge impact on quality of life. Recommendations on treatments for NBS inclu
- Biomarkers as point-of-care tests to guide prescription of antibiotics in patients with acute respiratory infections in primary care
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Nov-2014
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are by far the most common reason for prescribing an antibiotic in primary care, even though the majority of ARIs are of viral or non-severe bacterial aetiology. Unnecessary antibiotic use will, in many cases, not be be
- Biomarkers for diagnosis of Wilson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2019
Wilson's disease, first described by Samuel Wilson in 1912, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder resulting from mutations in the ATP7B gene. The disease develops as a consequence of copper accumulating in affected tissues.
- Biomedical risk assessment as an aid for smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2019
A possible strategy for increasing smoking cessation rates could be to provide smokers with feedback on the current or potential future biomedical effects of smoking using, for example, measurement of exhaled carbon monoxide (CO), lung function, or geneti
- Biophysical profile for fetal assessment in high risk pregnancies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jan-2008
A biophysical profile (BPP) includes ultrasound monitoring of fetal movements, fetal tone and fetal breathing, ultrasound assessment of liquor volume with or without assessment of the fetal heart rate. The BPP is performed in an effort to identify babies
- Biopsy versus resection for high‐grade glioma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2019
This is an update of the original review published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Issue 1, 2000 and updated in 2003, 2007 and 2010.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2008
Upper limb repetitive strain injury is a common problem in western countries, causing human suffering and huge economical losses. Patients with prolonged pain associated with repetitive tasks in the work place can face both psychological and physical diff
- Bioresorbable fixation devices for musculoskeletal injuries in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2008
Bioresorbable implants for musculoskeletal injuries involving bone and ligaments in adults might have significant advantages compared to the conventionally used non-resorbable metal implants because they lead to a gradual transfer of the mechanical load f
- Biphasic versus monophasic oral contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Side effects caused by oral contraceptives discourage compliance with, and continuation of, oral contraceptives (OCs). Three approaches have been used to decrease these adverse effects: reduction of steroid dose, development of new steroids, and new formu
- Biphasic versus monophasic waveforms for transthoracic defibrillation in out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2016
Transthoracic defibrillation is a potentially life-saving treatment for people with ventricular fibrillation (VF) and haemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT). In recent years, biphasic waveforms have become more commonly used for defibrilla
- Biphasic versus triphasic oral contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Side effects caused by oral contraceptives discourage compliance with, and continuation of, oral contraceptives. A suggested disadvantage of biphasic compared to triphasic oral contraceptive (OC) pills is an increase in breakthrough bleeding. We conducted
