- Hormonal versus non‐hormonal contraceptives in women with diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Mar-2013
Adequate contraceptive advice is important in both women with diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2 to reduce the risk of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality in unplanned pregnancies. A wide variety of contraceptives are available for these women. H
- Hormone replacement therapy for cognitive function in postmenopausal women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jan-2008
As estrogens have been found in animal models to be associated with the maintenance and protection of brain structures, it is biologically plausible that maintaining high levels of estrogens in postmenopausal women by medication could be protective agains
- Hormone replacement therapy to maintain cognitive function in women with dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
As estrogens have been shown to have several potentially beneficial effects on the central nervous system, it is biologically plausible that maintaining high levels of estrogens in postmenopausal women by means of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) could
- Hormone therapy for preventing cardiovascular disease in post‐menopausal women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Mar-2015
Evidence from systematic reviews of observational studies suggests that hormone therapy may have beneficial effects in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease events in post-menopausal women, however the results of randomised controlled trials (R
- Hormone therapy in postmenopausal women and risk of endometrial hyperplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2012
Reduced circulating estrogen levels around the time of the menopause can induce unacceptable symptoms that affect the health and well-being of women. Hormone therapy (both unopposed estrogen and estrogen/progestogen combinations) is an effective treatment
- Hyaluronic acid in embryo transfer media for assisted reproductive technologies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2020
This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in the Cochrane Library (2010, Issue 7).
- Immediate postabortal insertion of intrauterine devices
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2014
The use of an effective contraceptive may be necessary after an abortion. Insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) may be done the same day or later. Immediate IUD insertion is an option since the woman is not pregnant, pain of insertion is less because
- Immediate postpartum insertion of intrauterine device for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2015
Women who want to start intrauterine contraception (IUC) during the postpartum period might benefit from IUC insertion immediately after delivery. Postplacental insertion greatly reduces the risk of subsequent pregnancy and eliminates the need for a retur
- Immediate start of hormonal contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Health care providers often tell women to wait until the next menses to begin hormonal contraception. The intent is to avoid contraceptive use during an undetected pregnancy. An alternative is to start hormonal contraception immediately with back-up birth
- Immunotherapy for recurrent miscarriage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Oct-2014
Because immunological aberrations might be the cause of miscarriage in some women, several immunotherapies have been used to treat women with otherwise unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.
- In vitro fertilisation for unexplained subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2015
One-third of subfertile couples have no identifiable cause for their inability to conceive. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a widely accepted treatment for this condition; however, this treatment is invasive and expensive and is associated with risks.
- In vitro fertilisation versus tubal reanastomosis (sterilisation reversal) for subfertility after tubal sterilisation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Tubal sterilisation is the most popular contraceptive method in the world. Approximately 138 million women of reproductive age have had tubal sterilisation and there is evidence that increasingly younger women are being sterilized. With such large numbers
- Inhaled corticosteroid effects on bone metabolism in asthma and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2002
Inhaled corticosteroids form the main therapy for asthma, but there is increasing concern about the potential systematic effects of long-term inhaled corticosteroids including their effect on bone metabolism and bone loss.
- Insulin‐sensitising drugs (metformin, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, D‐chiro‐inositol) for women with polycystic ovary syndrome, oligo amenorrhoea and subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Nov-2017
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by infrequent or absent ovulation, and high levels of androgens and insulin (hyperinsulinaemia). Hyperinsulinaemia occurs secondary to insulin resistance and is associated with increased risk of cardiovasc
- Intermittent iron supplementation for reducing anaemia and its associated impairments in adolescent and adult menstruating women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2019
Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is insufficient to meet physiologic needs; it is caused by many conditions, particularly iron deficiency. Traditionally, daily iron supplementation has been a standard practice for preventing a
- Interventions for emergency contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2019
Emergency contraception (EC) is using a drug or copper intrauterine device (Cu-IUD) to prevent pregnancy shortly after unprotected intercourse. Several interventions are available for EC. Information on the comparative effectiveness, safety and convenienc
- Interventions for encouraging sexual behaviours intended to prevent cervical cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2011
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the key risk factor for cervical cancer. Continuing high rates of HPV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in young people demonstrate the need for effective behavioural interventions.
- Interventions for pain with intrauterine device insertion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jul-2015
Fear of pain during insertion of intrauterine contraception (IUC) is a barrier to use of this method. IUC includes copper-containing intrauterine devices and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems. Interventions for pain control during IUC insertio
- Interventions for 'poor responders' to controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH) in in‐vitro fertilisation (IVF)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
The success of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) depends on adequate follicle recruitment by using controlled ovarian stimulation with gonadotrophins. Failure to recruit adequate follicles is called 'poor response'. Various treatment protocols have been propos
- Interventions for preventing blood loss during the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Dec-2013
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is the most common pre-malignant lesion. Surgical treatments for CIN are commonly associated with blood loss.
