- Fortification of maize flour with iron for controlling anaemia and iron deficiency in populations
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Dec-2018
Approximately 800 million women and children have anaemia, a condition thought to cause almost 9% of the global burden of years lived with disability. Around half this burden could be amenable to interventions that involve the provision of iron. Maize (co - Fortification of rice with vitamins and minerals for addressing micronutrient malnutrition
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Oct-2019
Rice fortification with vitamins and minerals has the potential to increase the nutrition in rice-consuming countries where micronutrient deficiencies exist. Globally, 490 million metric tonnes of rice are consumed annually. It is the dominant staple food - Fortification of staple foods with vitamin A for vitamin A deficiency
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2019
Vitamin A deficiency is a significant public health problem in many low- and middle-income countries, especially affecting young children, women of reproductive age, and pregnant women. Fortification of staple foods with vitamin A has been used to increas - Fortification of staple foods with zinc for improving zinc status and other health outcomes in the general population
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2016
Zinc deficiency is a global nutritional problem, particularly in children and women residing in settings where diets are cereal based and monotonous. It has several negative health consequences. Fortification of staple foods with zinc may be an effective - Fortification of wheat and maize flour with folic acid for population health outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jun-2019
Folate is a B-vitamin required for DNA synthesis, methylation, and cellular division. Wheat and maize (corn) flour are staple crops consumed widely throughout the world and have been fortified with folic acid in over 80 countries to prevent neural tube de - Frameless versus classical intrauterine device for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2008
The frameless intrauterine device (IUD) dispenses with the frame in the classical IUD and holds the device in the uterus by anchoring one end of a nylon thread in the fundal myometrium, to which copper sleeves are attached. - Framing of health information messages
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2011
The same information about the evidence on health effects can be framed either in positive words or in negative words. Some research suggests that positive versus negative framing can lead to different decisions, a phenomenon described as the framing effe - Frenotomy for tongue‐tie in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition whereby the lingual frenulum attaches near the tip of the tongue and may be short, tight and thick. Tongue-tie is present in 4% to 11% of newborns. Tongue-tie has been cited as a cause of poor breastfeeding and - Frequency of administration of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for the anaemia of end-stage kidney disease in dialysis patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2014
The benefits of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) for dialysis patients have been demonstrated. However, it remains unclear whether the efficacy and safety of new, longer-acting ESA given less frequently is equivalent to recombinant human erythropoi - Frequency of dressing changes for central venous access devices on catheter-related infections
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jan-2016
People admitted to intensive care units and those with chronic health care problems often require long-term vascular access. Central venous access devices (CVADs) are used for administering intravenous medications and blood sampling. CVADs are covered wit - Frequency of endotracheal suctioning for the prevention of respiratory morbidity in ventilated newborns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2016
Endotracheal suctioning consists of the mechanical aspiration of pulmonary secretions from the endotracheal tube (ETT) to prevent obstruction. The optimal frequency of ETT suctioning has not been defined. - Fresh frozen plasma for cardiovascular surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2015
Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is a blood component containing procoagulant factors, which is sometimes used in cardiovascular surgery with the aim of reducing the risk of bleeding. The purpose of this review is to assess the risk of mortality for patients und - Fresh versus frozen embryo transfers in assisted reproduction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments conventionally consist of a fresh embryo transfer, possibly followed by one or more cryopreserved embryo transfers in subsequent cycles. An alternative option is to freeze - FSH replaced by low-dose hCG in the late follicular phase versus continued FSH for assisted reproductive techniques
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2013
During controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is frequently used for several days to achieve follicular development. FSH is a relatively expensive drug, substantially contributing to the total expenses of assisted rep - Full‐mouth treatment modalities (within 24 hours) for chronic periodontitis in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2015
Periodontitis is chronic inflammation that causes damage to the soft tissues and bones supporting the teeth. Mild to moderate periodontitis affects up to 50% of adults. Conventional treatment is quadrant scaling and root planing. In an attempt to enhance - Fully intermittent dosing with drugs for treating tuberculosis in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Oct-2008
The number of people infected with tuberculosis continues to rise worldwide. Rifampicin-containing treatment regimens can achieve high cure rates. Intermittent drug treatment delivered in the community has the potential to improve adherence to treatment. - Fulvestrant for hormone-sensitive metastatic breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Dec-2016
Fulvestrant is a selective oestrogen receptor down-regulator (SERD), which by blocking proliferation of breast cancer cells, is an effective endocrine treatment for women with hormone-sensitive advanced breast cancer. The goal of such systemic therapy in - Functional analysis-based interventions for challenging behaviour in dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Dec-2011
Functional analysis (FA) for the management of challenging behaviour is a promising behavioural intervention that involves exploring the meaning or purpose of an individual’s behaviour. It extends the ‘ABC’ approach of behavioural analysis, to overcome th - Functional capacity evaluations for the prevention of occupational re-injuries in injured workers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Feb-2016
Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) has been widely used to assess workers’ physical state of readiness to return to work (RTW) after an injury and to make recommendations for the time and capacity in which they might return. FCEs are also used to preven - Functional endoscopic balloon dilation of sinus ostia for chronic rhinosinusitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2011
Dilation of sinus ostia using a high-pressure balloon has been introduced as a treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) refractory to medical treatment. The efficacy of this technology, however, has not been systematically reviewed.
