- Screening for colorectal cancer using the faecal occult blood test, Hemoccult
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2011
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in the Western world. The human and financial costs have prompted considerable research to evaluate screening tests to detect the cancer at an early curable stage. Tests that have - Screening for genital chlamydia infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Sep-2016
Genital infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis are the most prevalent bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Screening of sexually active young adults to detect and treat asymptomatic infections might reduce chlamydia transmission and pre - Screening for lung cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2013
This is an updated version of the original review published in The Cochrane Library in 1999 and updated in 2004 and 2010. Population-based screening for lung cancer has not been adopted in the majority of countries. However it is not clear whether sputum - Screening for nasopharyngeal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2015
Nasopharyngeal cancer is endemic in a few well-defined populations. The prognosis for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer is poor, but early-stage disease is curable and a high survival rate can be achieved. Screening for early-stage disease could lead to impr - Screening for oesophageal cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2012
Oesophageal cancer is a global heath problem. The prognosis for advanced oesophageal cancer is generally unfavourable, but early-stage asymptomatic oesophageal cancer is basically curable and could achieve better survival rates. The two most commonly used - Screening for peripheral arterial disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Apr-2014
In the general population, up to 10% of people younger than 70 years and 15% to 20% of people older than 70 years have peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Symptomatic and asymptomatic PAD has an estimated prevalence of 13% in the over 50 years age group. H - Screening for prevention of optic nerve damage due to chronic open angle glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2009
Open angle glaucoma (OAG) is a primary, progressive optic neuropathy; the onset is without symptoms and progression occurs silently until the advanced stages of the disease, when it affects central vision. The blindness caused by OAG is irreversible. It h - Screening for prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Any form of screening aims to reduce disease-specific and overall mortality, and to improve a person's future quality of life. Screening for prostate cancer has generated considerable debate within the medical and broader community, as demonstrated by the - Screening for reducing morbidity and mortality in malignant melanoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jun-2019
Screening for malignant melanoma has the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality from the disease through earlier detection, as prognosis is closely associated with the thickness of the lesion at the time of diagnosis. However, there are also potentia - Screening for testicular cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2011
Testicular cancer commonly affects men aged between 20 and 35 years. Screening for testicular cancer may reduce both morbidity and mortality, yet the effectiveness of any method is unknown. Equally, screening may also promote treatment procedures that are - Screening hysteroscopy in subfertile women and women undergoing assisted reproduction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2019
Screening hysteroscopy in infertile women with unexplained infertility, or prior to intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF) may reveal intrauterine pathology that may not be detected by routine transvaginal ultrasound. Hysteroscopy - Screening programmes for developmental dysplasia of the hip in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2011
Uncorrected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is associated with long term morbidity such as gait abnormalities, chronic pain and degenerative arthritis. - Screening programmes for the early detection and prevention of oral cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2013
Oral cancer is an important global healthcare problem, its incidence is increasing and late-stage presentation is common. Screening programmes have been introduced for a number of major cancers and have proved effective in their early detection. Given the - Screening with urinary dipsticks for reducing morbidity and mortality
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jan-2015
Urinary dipsticks are sometimes used for screening asymptomatic people, and for case-finding among inpatients or outpatients who do not have genitourinary symptoms. Abnormalities identified on screening sometimes lead to additional investigations, which m - Screening women for intimate partner violence in healthcare settings
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Aug-2015
Intimate partner violence (IPV) damages individuals, their children, communities, and the wider economic and social fabric of society. Some governments and professional organisations recommend screening all women for IPV rather than asking only women with - Sealing procedures for preterm prelabour rupture of membranes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2016
Preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes (PPROM) complicates approximately 2% of pregnancies and can be either spontaneous or iatrogenic in nature. Complications of PPROM include prematurity, chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, limb position defects, res - Seclusion and restraint for people with serious mental illnesses
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2012
Seclusion and restraint are interventions used in the treatment and management of disruptive and violent behaviours in psychiatry. The use of seclusion varies widely across institutions. The literature does offer numerous suggestions for interventions to - Second or third additional chemotherapy drug for non-small cell lung cancer in patients with advanced disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Mar-2012
Randomized trials have demonstrated that adding a drug to a single-agent or to a two-agent regimen increased the tumor response rate in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although its impact on survival remains controversial. - Second trimester serum tests for Down's Syndrome screening
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-May-2012
Down's syndrome occurs when a person has three copies of chromosome 21 - or the specific area of chromosome 21 implicated in causing Down's syndrome - rather than two. It is the commonest congenital cause of mental retardation. Noninvasive screening based - Secondary bone grafting for alveolar cleft in children with cleft lip or cleft lip and palate
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2011
Secondary alveolar bone grafting has been widely used to reconstruct alveolar cleft. However, there is still some controversy.
