- Ear drops for the removal of ear wax
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2018
Ear wax (cerumen) is a normal bodily secretion that can become a problem when it obstructs the ear canal. Symptoms attributed to wax (such as deafness and pain) are among the commonest reasons for patients to present to primary care with ear trouble. - Early (< 8 days) systemic postnatal corticosteroids for prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jan-2018
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains a major problem in neonatal intensive care units. Persistent inflammation in the lungs is the most likely underlying pathogenesis. Corticosteroids have been used to prevent or treat bronchopulmonary dysplasia because of - Early amniocentesis versus transabdominal chorion villus sampling for prenatal diagnosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Oct-2008
A major disadvantage of amniocentesis is that test results are usually available only after 18 weeks gestation. Early amniocentesis can now be done between 9 to 14 weeks gestation. - Early compared with delayed oral fluids and food after caesarean section
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Oct-2008
It is customary for fluids and/or food to be withheld for a period of time after abdominal operations. After caesarean section, practices vary considerably. These discrepancies raise concern as to the bases of different practices. - Early intervention for psychosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Mar-2011
Proponents of early intervention have argued that outcomes might be improved if more therapeutic efforts were focused on the early stages of schizophrenia or on people with prodromal symptoms. Early intervention in schizophrenia has two elements that are - Early intravenous nutrition for the prevention of neonatal jaundice
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
The early institution of enteral feeding in the first few days of life is known to impact on the development of unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. However, the effect of early intravenous nutrition on neonatal jaundice remains unknown. - Early introduction of lipids to parenterally-fed preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2008
Lipids are essential components of parenteral nutrition for preterm infants. Parenteral lipids can be administered through a peripheral vein, and their early introduction offers the potential advantages of increasing energy intake and providing essential - Early mobilisation for elbow fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-May-2011
A fall on the outstretched arm can result in an elbow fracture. Loss of elbow function is a common problem with these fractures and can have major implications for functional capabilities. It is unknown whether early mobilisation can improve functional ou - Early planned removal of umbilical venous catheters to prevent infection in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Aug-2017
Lengthy duration of use may be a risk factor for umbilical venous catheter-associated bloodstream infection in newborn infants. Early planned removal of umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) is recommended to reduce the incidence of infection and associated m - Early planned removal versus expectant management of peripherally inserted central catheters to prevent infection in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2018
Duration of use may be a modifiable risk factor for central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infection in newborn infants. Early planned removal of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is recommended as a strategy to reduce the incidence - Early postnatal discharge from hospital for healthy mothers and term infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2009
Length of postnatal hospital stay has declined dramatically in the past thirty years. There is ongoing controversy concerning whether staying less time in hospital is harmful or beneficial. - Early psychological interventions to treat acute traumatic stress symptoms
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Dec-2011
The amelioration of psychological distress following traumatic events is a major concern. Systematic reviews suggest that interventions targeted at all of those exposed to such events are not effective at preventing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). - Early referral to specialist nephrology services for preventing the progression to end-stage kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2014
Early referral of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is believed to help with interventions to address risk factors to slow down the rate of progression of kidney failure to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and the need for dialysis, hospitalisatio - Early routine endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography strategy versus early conservative management strategy in acute gallstone pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2012
The role and timing of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in acute gallstone pancreatitis remains controversial. A number of clinical trials and meta-analyses have provided conflicting evidence. - Early surfactant administration with brief ventilation vs. selective surfactant and continued mechanical ventilation for preterm infants with or at risk for respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2008
Both prophylactic and early surfactant replacement therapy reduce mortality and pulmonary complications in ventilated infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) compared with later selective surfactant administration. However, continued post-surfact - Early trophic feeding versus enteral fasting for very preterm or very low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Feb-2013
The introduction of enteral feeds for very preterm (< 32 weeks) or very low birth weight (< 1500 grams) infants is often delayed due to concern that early introduction may not be tolerated and may increase the risk of necrotising enterocolitis. However, p - Early versus deferred treatment for early stage multiple myeloma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2012
Early stage multiple myeloma (MM) represents about 20% of MM. Most of the patients are asymptomatic. Thus, it is far less dramatic than advanced disease and may require different treatment strategies. For these patients, it is not clear whether it is bett - Early versus delayed antiretroviral treatment in HIV-positive people with cryptococcal meningitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jul-2018
There remains uncertainty about the optimum timing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation in HIV-positive people with cryptococcal meningitis. This uncertainty is the result of conflicting data on the mortality risk and occurrence of immune reconstitu - Early versus delayed appendicectomy for appendiceal phlegmon or abscess
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Jun-2017
Appendiceal phlegmon and abscess account for 2% to 10% of acute appendicitis. People with appendiceal phlegmon or abscess usually need an appendicectomy to relieve their symptoms and avoid complications. The timing of appendicectomy for appendiceal phlegm - Early versus delayed enteral nutrition support for burn injuries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Oct-2008
A burn injury increases the body's metabolic demands, and therefore nutritional requirements. Provision of an adequate supply of nutrients is believed to lower the incidence of metabolic abnormalities, thus reducing septic morbidity, improving survival ra
