- Blood pressure targets in adults with hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2020
This is the first update of this review first published in 2009. When treating elevated blood pressure, doctors usually try to achieve a blood pressure target. That target is the blood pressure value below which the optimal clinical benefit is supposedly - Blood pressure‐lowering efficacy of loop diuretics for primary hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2015
Antihypertensive drugs from the thiazide diuretic drug class have been shown to reduce mortality and cardiovascular morbidity. Loop diuretics are indicated and used to treat hypertension, but a systematic review of their blood pressure-lowering efficacy o - Blood pressure-lowering efficacy of monotherapy with thiazide diuretics for primary hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-May-2014
Hypertension is a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. Although it is established that low-dose thiazides reduce mortality as well as cardiovascular morbidity, the dose-related effect of thiazides in decreasing blood pressure has not been subject to a r - Blood pressure‐lowering efficacy of reserpine for primary hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2016
Many antihypertensive agents exist today for the treatment of primary hypertension (systolic blood pressure = 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure = 90 mmHg, or both). Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been carried out to investigate the evidence f - Blood pressure‐lowering treatment for preventing recurrent stroke, major vascular events, and dementia in patients with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2018
Stroke is an important cause of death and disability worldwide. Since high blood pressure is an important risk factor for stroke and stroke recurrence, drugs that lower blood pressure might play an important role in secondary stroke prevention. - Blood transfusion for preventing primary and secondary stroke in people with sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jul-2020
Sickle cell disease is one of the commonest severe monogenic disorders in the world, due to the inheritance of two abnormal haemoglobin (beta globin) genes. Sickle cell disease can cause severe pain, significant end-organ damage, pulmonary complications, - Blood transfusion for treating malarial anaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Oct-1999
Blood transfusion is used in patients with severe malarial anaemia, but risks adverse reactions, transmission of disease, and is complicated to organize in developing countries. - Blood transfusions for anaemia in patients with advanced cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Anaemia occurs in 68% to 77% of patients with advanced cancer, however, only a minority of patients who are admitted to a hospice receive a blood transfusion. It is unclear what the benefit of blood transfusion is in advanced cancer, who is most likely to - Blood transfusions for treating acute chest syndrome in people with sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2020
Sickle cell disease is an inherited autosomal recessive blood condition and is one of the most prevalent genetic blood diseases worldwide. Acute chest syndrome is a frequent complication of sickle cell disease, as well as a major cause of morbidity and th - Blue versus white light for transurethral resection of non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2021
Disease recurrence and progression remain major challenges in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Blue light-enhanced transurethral resection of bladder cancer (TURBT) is an approach to improve staging and achieve a complete resec - Blue‐light filtering intraocular lenses (IOLs) for protecting macular health
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2018
An intraocular lens (IOL) is a synthetic lens that is surgically implanted within the eye following removal of the crystalline lens, during cataract surgery. While all modern IOLs attenuate the transmission of ultra-violet (UV) light, some IOLs, called bl - Blunt versus sharp suture needles for preventing percutaneous exposure incidents in surgical staff
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2011
Surgeons and their assistants are especially at risk of exposure to blood due to glove perforations and needle stick injuries during operations. The use of blunt needles can reduce this risk because they don't penetrate skin easily but still perform suffi - Body positioning for spontaneously breathing preterm infants with apnoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jan-2017
It has been proposed that body positioning in preterm infants, as compared with other, more invasive measures, may be an effective method of reducing clinically significant apnoea. - Body weight management in overweight and obese breast cancer survivors
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Dec-2020
Studies suggest that overweight and obese breast cancer survivors are at increased risk of cancer recurrence and have higher all-cause mortality. Obesity has an impact on breast cancer survivor's quality of life (QOL) and increases the risk of longer-term - Bone grafts and bone substitutes for treating distal radial fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2008
Surgical treatment of fractures of the distal radius can involve the implantation of bone scaffolding materials (bone grafts and substitutes) into bony defects that frequently arise after fracture reduction. - Bone marrow harvest versus peripheral stem cell collection for haemopoietic stem cell donation in healthy donors
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
Haemopoietic stem cells can be collected from a donor either as a bone marrow harvest or by peripheral blood collection. Both techniques have risks for the donor. - Bone marrow versus peripheral blood allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for haematological malignancies in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2014
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an established treatment option for many malignant and non-malignant disorders. In the past two decades, peripheral blood stem cells replaced bone marrow as stem cell source due to faster - Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) for fracture healing in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2010
Delay in fracture healing is a complex clinical and economic issue for patients and health services. - Booster dose vaccination for preventing hepatitis B
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jun-2016
Antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) wane over time following hepatitis B immunisation; hence, it is unclear whether people vaccinated in three-dose or four-dose schedules of the hepatitis B vaccine are still immune when the hepatitis B - Bortezomib for the treatment of multiple myeloma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2016
Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells accounting for approximately 1% of cancers and 12% of haematological malignancies. The first-in-class proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, is commonly used to treat newly diagnosed as well as relapsed/refracto
