- Comprehensive geriatric assessment for older adults admitted to hospital
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Sep-2017
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic process conducted to determine the medical, mental, and functional problems of older people with frailty so that a co-ordinated and integrated p - Comprehensive geriatric assessment for older people admitted to a surgical service
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2018
Aging populations are at increased risk of postoperative complications. New methods to provide care for older people recovering from surgery may reduce surgery-related complications. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) has been shown to improve some - Compression bandages or stockings versus no compression for treating venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jul-2021
Leg ulcers are open skin wounds on the lower leg that can last weeks, months or even years. Most leg ulcers are the result of venous diseases. First-line treatment options often include the use of compression bandages or stockings. - Compression for preventing recurrence of venous ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2014
Up to 1% of adults will have a leg ulcer at some time. The majority of leg ulcers are venous in origin and are caused by high pressure in the veins due to blockage or weakness of the valves in the veins of the leg. Prevention and treatment of venous ulcer - Compression for venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2012
Up to one percent of people in industrialised countries will suffer from a leg ulcer at some time. The majority of these leg ulcers are due to problems in the veins, resulting in an accumulation of blood in the legs. Leg ulcers arising from venous problem - Compression stockings for preventing deep vein thrombosis in airline passengers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Apr-2021
Air travel might increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It has been suggested that wearing compression stockings might reduce this risk. This is an update of the review first published in 2006. - Compression therapy for prevention of post‐thrombotic syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Sep-2017
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a long-term complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that is characterised by chronic pain, swelling, and skin changes in the affected limb. One of every three people with DVT will develop post-thrombotic complications - Compression therapy for treating post‐thrombotic syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Sep-2019
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a long-term complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) characterised by chronic complaints such as oedema and skin changes including; venous ectasia, varicose veins, redness, eczema, hyperpigmentation, and in severe cases - Compulsory community and involuntary outpatient treatment for people with severe mental disorders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2017
It is controversial whether compulsory community treatment (CCT) for people with severe mental illness (SMI) reduces health service use, or improves clinical outcome and social functioning. - Computed tomography (CT) angiography for confirmation of the clinical diagnosis of brain death
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Mar-2014
The diagnosis of death using neurological criteria (brain death) has profound social, legal and ethical implications. The diagnosis can be made using standard clinical tests examining for brain function, but in some patient populations and in some countri - Computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography for detection of intracranial vascular malformations in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Sep-2014
Intracranial vascular malformations (brain or pial/dural arteriovenous malformations/fistulae, and aneurysms) are the leading cause of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in young adults. Early identification of the intracranial vascular malformation may impr - Computed tomography for diagnosis of acute appendicitis in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2019
Diagnosing acute appendicitis (appendicitis) based on clinical evaluation, blood testing, and urinalysis can be difficult. Therefore, in persons with suspected appendicitis, abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) is often used as an add-on test following - Computed tomography for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in adults with chronic liver disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Oct-2021
Hepatocellular carcinoma occurs mostly in people with chronic liver disease and ranks sixth in terms of global incidence of cancer, and fourth in terms of cancer deaths. In clinical practice, computed tomography (CT) is used as a second-line diagnostic im - Computed tomography versus magnetic resonance imaging versus bone scintigraphy for clinically suspected scaphoid fractures in patients with negative plain radiographs
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2015
In clinically suspected scaphoid fractures, early diagnosis reduces the risk of non-union and minimises loss in productivity resulting from unnecessary cast immobilisation. Since initial radiographs do not exclude the possibility of a fracture, additional - Computer and mobile technology interventions for self‐management in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-May-2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by airflow obstruction due to an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, for example, cigarette smoke. The pattern of care for people with moderate to very se - Computer and mobile technology interventions to promote medication adherence and disease management in people with thalassemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jun-2019
Thalassemia syndromes are inherited hemoglobin disorders that result when the synthesis of normal hemoglobin is lacking or significantly reduced. For people with thalassemia, long-term red blood cell transfusion remains the mainstay of therapy, which may - Computer‐assisted diagnosis techniques (dermoscopy and spectroscopy‐based) for diagnosing skin cancer in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Dec-2018
Early accurate detection of all skin cancer types is essential to guide appropriate management and to improve morbidity and survival. Melanoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are high-risk skin cancers which have the potential to metastasise - Computer‐assisted surgery for knee ligament reconstruction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2014
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most frequently performed orthopaedic procedures. The most common technical cause of reconstruction failure is graft malpositioning. Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) aims to improve the accuracy - Computer-assisted versus oral-and-written dietary history taking for diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
Diabetes is a chronic illness characterised by insulin resistance or deficiency, resulting in elevated glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2011
Diabetes is a chronic illness characterised by insulin resistance or deficiency, resulting in elevated glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Because diabetes tends to run in families, the collection of data is an important tool for identifying peop
