- Consumer-providers of care for adult clients of statutory mental health services
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Mar-2013
In mental health services, the past several decades has seen a slow but steady trend towards employment of past or present consumers of the service to work alongside mental health professionals in providing services. However the effects of this employment
- Contact tracing strategies in household and congregate environments to identify cases of tuberculosis in low‐ and moderate‐incidence populations
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Aug-2019
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that is spread via respiratory droplets from infected individuals to susceptible contacts. To eliminate this disease from low- and medium-incidence settings, people who are most likely to be infected (contac
- Containment strategies for people with serious mental illness
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
The management of acutely disturbed people during periods of psychiatric crisis poses a particular challenge for mental health professionals. The challenge is to maintain safety while providing a safe and therapeutic environment. Non-pharmaceutical method
- Continuation and maintenance treatments for depression in older people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2016
Depressive illness is common in old age. Prevalence in the community of case level depression is around 15% and milder forms of depression are more common. It causes significant distress and disability. The number of people over the age of 60 years is exp
- Continuation versus discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy for bleeding and ischaemic events in adults undergoing non‐cardiac surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2018
Antiplatelet agents are recommended for people with myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndromes, transient ischaemic attack or stroke, and for those in whom coronary stents have been inserted. People who take antiplatelet agents are at increased ri
- Continuing education meetings and workshops: effects on professional practice and healthcare outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2021
Educational meetings are used widely by health personnel to provide continuing medical education and to promote implementation of innovations or translate new knowledge to change practice within healthcare systems. Previous reviews have concluded that edu
- Continuity of caregivers for care during pregnancy and childbirth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-May-2009
Care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period is often provided by multiple caregivers, many of whom work only in the antenatal clinic, labour ward or postnatal unit. However continuity of care is provided by the same caregiver or a small gr
- Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) versus hospital or home haemodialysis for end‐stage renal disease in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2004
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) with dialysis and transplantation is the only means of sustaining life for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Although transplantation is the treatment of choice, the number of donor kidneys are limited and tran
- Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis versus automated peritoneal dialysis for end-stage renal disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2008
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) can be performed either manually as in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or using mechanical devices as in automated PD (APD). APD has been considered to have several advantages over CAPD such as reduced incidence o
- Continuous and interrupted suturing techniques for repair of episiotomy or second‐degree tears
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2012
Millions of women worldwide undergo perineal suturing after childbirth and the type of repair may have an impact on pain and healing. For more than 70 years, researchers have been suggesting that continuous non-locking suture techniques for repair of the
- Continuous cardiotocography (CTG) as a form of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) for fetal assessment during labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Feb-2017
Cardiotocography (CTG) records changes in the fetal heart rate and their temporal relationship to uterine contractions. The aim is to identify babies who may be short of oxygen (hypoxic) to guide additional assessments of fetal wellbeing, or determine if
- Continuous chest compression versus interrupted chest compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation of non‐asphyxial out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Mar-2017
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of death worldwide. Cardiac arrest can be subdivided into asphyxial and non asphyxial etiologies. An asphyxia arrest is caused by lack of oxygen in the blood and occurs in drowning and choking victims
- Continuous electronic heart rate monitoring for fetal assessment during labor
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2008
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is used in the management of labor and delivery in nearly three of four pregnancies in the United States. The apparent contradiction between the widespread use of EFM and expert recommendations to limit routine use indica
- Continuous erythropoiesis receptor activator (CERA) for the anaemia of chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2017
Continuous erythropoiesis receptor activator (CERA) is a newer, longer acting ESA which might be preferred to other ESAs (epoetin or darbepoetin) based on its lower frequency of administration. Different dosing requirements and molecular characteristics o
- Continuous glucose monitoring for the prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2021
Preterm infants are susceptible to hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, which may lead to adverse neurodevelopment. The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices might help in keeping glucose levels in the normal range, and reduce the need for blood
- Continuous glucose monitoring systems for monitoring cystic fibrosis‐related diabetes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Nov-2021
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common life-shortening autosomal-recessive genetic conditions with around 100,000 people affected globally. CF mainly affects the respiratory system, but cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a common extrapulm
- Continuous glucose monitoring systems for type 1 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2011
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is essential to optimise glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems measure interstitial fluid glucose levels to provide semi-continuous information about glucose levels, whi
- Continuous heparin infusion to prevent thrombosis and catheter occlusion in neonates with peripherally placed percutaneous central venous catheters
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2011
Complications associated with peripherally placed percutaneous central venous catheters (PCVC) in neonates include catheter thrombosis, occlusion or dislodgement and infection. Strategies to prevent catheter thrombosis and occlusion include the use of hep
- Continuous infusion versus bolus injection of loop diuretics in congestive heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jul-2005
Loop diuretics, when given as intermittent bolus injections in acutely decompensated heart failure, may cause fluctuations in intravascular volume, increased toxicity and development of tolerance. Continuous infusion has been proposed to avoid these compl
- Continuous infusion versus intermittent bolus doses of indomethacin for patent ductus arteriosus closure in symptomatic preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Mar-2010
Indomethacin is a prostaglandin inhibitor used for the prevention and the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Potential adverse effects of indomethacin use in premature infants include reduction in cerebral, mesenteric and renal blood flow and pl
