- Pathogen-reduced platelets for the prevention of bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Sep-2017
Platelet transfusions are used to prevent and treat bleeding in people who are thrombocytopenic. Despite improvements in donor screening and laboratory testing, a small risk of viral, bacterial, or protozoal contamination of platelets remains. There is al - Patient- and parent-initiated oral steroids for asthma exacerbations
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Nov-2016
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways affecting an estimated 334 million people worldwide. During severe exacerbations, patients may need to attend a medical centre or hospital emergency department for treatment with systemic corticoster - Patient controlled intravenous opioid analgesia versus continuous epidural analgesia for pain after intra-abdominal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Feb-2013
There are two common techniques for postoperative pain control after intra-abdominal surgery: patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with intravenous opioids and continuous epidural analgesia (CEA). It is uncertain which method has better pain control and few - Patient controlled opioid analgesia versus non-patient controlled opioid analgesia for postoperative pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jan-2019
This is an updated version of the original Cochrane review published in Issue 4, 2006. Patients may control postoperative pain by self administration of intravenous opioids using devices designed for this purpose (patient controlled analgesia or PCA). A 1 - Patient education and counselling for promoting adherence to treatment for tuberculosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2012
Non-adherence to tuberculosis treatment can lead to prolonged periods of infectiousness, relapse, emergence of drug-resistance, and increased morbidity and mortality. In this review, we assess whether patient education or counselling, or both, promotes ad - Patient education for adults with rheumatoid arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Nov-2008
Because of the unpredictability people with arthritis face on a daily basis, patient education programmes have become an effective complement to traditional medical treatment giving people with arthritis the strategies and the tools necessary to make dail - Patient education for mechanical neck disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Sep-2009
To track down the best estimate of efficacy of the various conservative management strategies for mechanical neck disorders, a four-part systematic review was prepared. Part four investigates the efficacy of patient education strategies as the therapeutic - Patient education for neck pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Mar-2012
Neck disorders are common, disabling, and costly. The effectiveness of patient education strategies is unclear. - Patient education for preventing diabetic foot ulceration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Dec-2014
Ulceration of the feet, which can result in loss of limbs and even death, is one of the major health problems for people with diabetes mellitus. - Patient isolation measures for infants with candida colonization or infection for preventing or reducing transmission of candida in neonatal units
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Oct-2011
Candida is a common nosocomial infection and is associated with increased healthcare costs. In neonates, candida infection is associated with high mortality and morbidity and is transmitted by direct and indirect contact. Patient isolation measures, i.e. - Patient reminder and recall interventions to improve immunization rates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jan-2018
Immunization rates for children and adults are rising, but coverage levels have not reached optimal goals. As a result, vaccine-preventable diseases still occur. In an era of increasing complexity of immunization schedules, rising expectations about the p - Patient support and education for promoting adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Adherence to prescribed regimens is required to derive maximal benefit from many highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens in people living with HIV/AIDS. - Patient-controlled analgesia with remifentanil versus alternative parenteral methods for pain management in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2017
Multiple analgesic strategies for pain relief during labour are available. Recently remifentanil, a short-acting opioid, has recently been used as an alternative analgesic due to its unique pharmacological properties. - Patient-mediated interventions to improve professional practice
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Sep-2018
Healthcare professionals are important contributors to healthcare quality and patient safety, but their performance does not always follow recommended clinical practice. There are many approaches to influencing practice among healthcare professionals. The - Patient-reported outcome measures for follow-up after gynaecological cancer treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Sep-2016
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Gynaecologic cancer treatment is known to have the potential for a major impact on quality of life (QoL). Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is an umbrella term that covers a range of potential types of - Pay for performance for hospitals
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jul-2019
Pay-for-Performance (P4P) is a payment model that rewards health care providers for meeting pre-defined targets for quality indicators or efficacy parameters to increase the quality or efficacy of care. - Paying for performance to improve the delivery of health interventions in low- and middle-income countries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-May-2013
There is a growing interest in paying for performance as a means to align the incentives of health workers and health providers with public health goals. However, there is currently a lack of rigorous evidence on the effectiveness of these strategies in i - Payment methods for outpatient care facilities
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Mar-2017
Outpatient care facilities provide a variety of basic healthcare services to individuals who do not require hospitalisation or institutionalisation, and are usually the patient's first contact. The provision of outpatient care contributes to immediate and - PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Apr-2017
Despite the availability of effective drug therapies that reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (LDL-C), cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Therefore, additional LDL-C reduction may be warranted, - Pedicle screw fixation for traumatic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2013
Spine fractures are common. The treatment of traumatic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine remains controversial but surgery involving pedicle screw fixation has become a popular option.
