Beta-blocker therapy has mortality benefit in patients with hypertension, heart failure and coronary artery disease, as well as during the perioperative period. These drugs have traditionally been considered contraindicated in patients with reversible air
- Cardiotocography versus intermittent auscultation of fetal heart on admission to labour ward for assessment of fetal wellbeing
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2017
The admission cardiotocograph (CTG) is a commonly used screening test consisting of a short (usually 20 minutes) recording of the fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine activity performed on the mother's admission to the labour ward. This is an update of a re
- Care delivery and self management strategies for adults with epilepsy

Researchers have criticised epilepsy care for adults for its lack of impact, stimulating the development of various service models and strategies to respond to perceived inadequacies.
- Care delivery and self management strategies for children with epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2015
Epilepsy care for children has been criticised for its lack of impact. Various service models and strategies have been developed in response to perceived inadequacies in care provision for children and their families.
- Care home versus hospital and own home environments for rehabilitation of older people

- Carisbamate add‐on therapy for drug‐resistant focal epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Dec-2021
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. Many people with epilepsy are drug-resistant and require add-on therapy, meaning that they concomitantly take multiple antiepileptic drugs. Carisbamate is a drug which is taken orally and inhibits
- Carnitine for fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Apr-2012
Fatigue is reported to occur in up to 92% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and has been described as the most debilitating of all MS symptoms by 28% to 40% of MS patients.
- Carnitine supplementation for inborn errors of metabolism
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2015
Inborn errors of metabolism are genetic conditions which can lead to abnormalities in the synthesis and metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, or fats. It has been proposed that in some instances carnitine supplementation should be provided to infants wit
- Carnitine supplementation for preterm infants with recurrent apnoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jan-2011
Apnea of prematurity is a common problem in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care setting (NICU) often delaying their discharge home or transfer to a step down unit. Premature infants are at increased risk of carnitine deficiency. Carnitine suppl
- Carnitine supplementation of parenterally fed neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Sep-2008
Carnitine, a quaternary amino acid, plays an important role in the oxidation of long chain fatty acids. Both breast milk and infant formulas contain carnitine. However, it is not routinely provided in parenteral nutrition solutions. Non supplemented paren
- Carotid artery stenting versus endarterectomy for treatment of carotid artery stenosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Feb-2020

- Carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2008
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is of proven benefit in recently-symptomatic patients with severe carotid stenosis. Its role in asymptomatic stenosis is still debated. The Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial (ACST) more than doubled the number of patients ran
- Carotid endarterectomy for carotid stenosis in patients selected for coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jul-2009
Carotid stenosis and coronary artery disease can occur simultaneously. In patients with coronary artery disease who are scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but who also have carotid artery stenosis, there is controversy about the ro

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Mar-2011
Severe narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. Surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy) may reduce the risk of stroke, but carries a risk of operative complications.
