Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2022
Hip fractures are a major healthcare problem, presenting a substantial challenge and burden to patients, healthcare systems and society. The increased proportion of older adults in the world population means that the absolute number of hip fractures is ri
- Ceramic inlays for restoring posterior teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Sep-2015
In recent decades ceramic inlays have been used with the increasing requirements from patients for tooth-coloured restorations in posterior teeth. Ceramic inlays can offer an excellent appearance, however, their long-term prognosis is uncertain, as only a
- Cerebrolysin for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jul-2020
Cerebrolysin is a mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids derived from porcine brain that has potential neuroprotective properties. It is widely used in the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke in Russia, Eastern Europe, China, and other A
- Cerebrolysin for vascular dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2012
Vascular dementia is a common disorder without definitive treatments. Cerebrolysin seems to be a promising intervention based on its potential neurotrophic and pro-cognitive effects, but studies of its efficacy have yielded inconsistent results.
- Cerebrospinal fluid drainage for thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Sep-2012
During aortic aneurysm surgery, cross-clamping can lead to inadequate blood supply to the spinal cord resulting in neurological deficit. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD) may increase the perfusion pressure to the spinal cord and hence reduce the risk o
- Cernilton for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2011
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate, can lead to obstructive and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The pharmacologic use of plants and herbs (phytotherapy) for the treatment of LUTS associated with BP
- Certolizumab pegol (CDP870) for rheumatoid arthritis in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2014
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors are beneficial for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in terms of reducing the risk of joint damage, improving physical function and improving quality of life. This Cochrane review is an update of a re
- Certolizumab pegol for maintenance of medically induced remission in Crohn’s disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jun-2022
Crohn's disease (CD) is a disease with an impaired immune response characterized by chronic, relapsing-remitting, and progressive inflammation mainly affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Certolizumab pegol (CZP) is a biological agent that regulates the i
- Cervical assessment by ultrasound for preventing preterm delivery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jan-2013
Measurement of cervical length (CL) by transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is predictive of preterm birth (PTB). It is unclear if this screening test is effective for prevention of PTB.
- Cervical cap versus diaphragm for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2012
The cervical cap and the diaphragm are vaginal barrier contraceptive methods that prevent pregnancy by covering the cervix. The two devices also act as a reservoir for spermicide. The cervical cap is smaller and can remain in place longer than the diaphra
- Cervical insemination versus intra-uterine insemination of donor sperm for subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Sep-2010
Insemination with donor sperm is an option for couples for whom in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has been unsuccessful, couples with azoospermia and for single women or same sex couples. Insemination of sperm can be
- Cervical pessary for preventing preterm birth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Apr-2013
Preterm birth is a major health problem and contributes to more than 50% of the overall perinatal mortality. Preterm birth has multiple risk factors including cervical incompetence and multiple pregnancy. Different management strategies have been tried to
- Cervical pessary for preventing preterm birth in singleton pregnancies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2022
Preterm birth (PTB), defined as birth prior to 37 weeks of gestation, occurs in ten percent of all pregnancies. PTB is responsible for more than half of neonatal and infant mortalities and morbidities. Because cervical insufficiency is a common cause of P
- Cervical preparation for first trimester surgical abortion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2010
Preparing the cervix prior to surgical abortion is intended to make the procedure both easier and safer. Options for cervical preparation include osmotic dilators and pharmacologic agents. Many formulations and regimens are available, and recommendations
- Cervical preparation for second trimester dilation and evacuation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jun-2010
Abortion during the second trimester of pregnancy accounts for 10-15% of abortions performed worldwide. Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is the preferred method of second-trimester abortion in most parts of the developed world. Cervical preparation is recomm
- Cervical ripening before first trimester surgical evacuation for non-viable pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2015
Medications or mechanical dilators are often used to soften and dilate the cervix prior to surgical evacuation of the uterus for non-viable pregnancy, or miscarriage. The majority of miscarriages occur in the first trimester. The aim of cervical ripening
- Cervical stitch (cerclage) for preventing pregnancy loss in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jan-2010
A cervical stitch has been used to prevent preterm deliveries in women with previous second trimester pregnancy losses, or other risk factors such as short cervix on digital or ultrasound examination.
- Cervical stitch (cerclage) for preventing preterm birth in multiple pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2014
Cervical cerclage is a surgical intervention involving placing a stitch around the uterine cervix. The suture material aims to prevent cervical shortening and opening, thereby reducing the risk of preterm birth. The effectiveness and safety of this proced
