- Food supplementation for improving the physical and psychosocial health of socio-economically disadvantaged children aged three months to five years
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2015
Undernutrition contributes to five million deaths of children under five each year. Furthermore, throughout the life cycle, undernutrition contributes to increased risk of infection, poor cognitive functioning, chronic disease, and mortality. It is thus i - Foot orthoses for patellofemoral pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2010
Foot orthoses, which are specially moulded devices fitted into footwear, are one of the treatment options for patellofemoral or anterior knee pain. - Force platform feedback for standing balance training after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Aug-2008
Standing balance deficits are common in individuals after stroke. One way to address these deficits is to provide the individual with feedback from a force platform while balance activities are performed. The feedback can take visual and/or auditory form. - Formal education of patients about to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2014
Generally, before being operated on, patients will be given informal information by the healthcare providers involved in the care of the patients (doctors, nurses, ward clerks, or healthcare assistants). This information can also be provided formally in d - Formoterol versus short-acting beta-agonists as relief medication for adults and children with asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Apr-2013
Formoterol is a long-acting beta2-agonist but because it has a fast onset of action it can also be used as a relief medication. - Formula versus donor breast milk for feeding preterm or low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2019
When sufficient maternal breast milk is not available, alternative forms of enteral nutrition for preterm or low birth weight (LBW) infants are donor breast milk or artificial formula. Donor breast milk may retain some of the non-nutritive benefits of mat - Fornix-based versus limbal-based conjunctival trabeculectomy flaps for glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Nov-2015
Glaucoma is one of the leading largely preventable causes of blindness in the world. It usually is addressed first medically with topical intraocular pressure-lowering drops or by laser trabeculoplasty. In cases where such treatment fails, glaucoma-filter - 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 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, 11-Mar-2017
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, 28-Mar-2017
In general, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) implies a single fresh and one or more frozen-thawed embryo transfers. Alternatively, the 'freeze-all' strategy implies transfer of frozen-thawed embryos only, with no fre - 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
