National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Evidence shows that elective caesarean delivery for the prevention of anal incontinence does not have the anticipated benefits and therefore should not be undertaken.
Reducing or stopping elective caesarean delivery for the prevention of anal incontinence is likely to improve the quality of patient care and result in productivity savings by reducing unnecessary operations.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for delayed onset muscle soreness and closed soft tissue injury
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Evidence shows that the harms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on ankle sprain or acute knee ligament injury, or on experimentally induced delayed-onset muscle soreness may outweigh the benefits.
Reducing or stopping the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in delayed-onset muscle soreness, ankle sprain and acute knee ligament injury is likely to improve the quality of patient care and result in productivity savings by reducing exposure to ...
Fetal and umbilical doppler ultrasound in normal pregnancy
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
The review of trials of routine doppler ultrasound of the baby’s vessels in pregnancy identified five studies involving more than 14,000 women and babies. The studies were not of high quality and were all undertaken in the 1990s. They showed that the use of routine umbilical artery doppler ultrasound, or a combination of umbilical and uterine artery doppler ultrasound in low-risk or unselected populations benefits neither mother nor baby and ...
Long-acting insulin analogues versus NPH insulin (human isophane insulin) for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Our analysis of the currently available long-term trials comparing long acting insulin analogues with NPH (human isophane) insulin showed that insulin glargine and insulin detemir were almost identically effective compared with NPH insulin in long-term metabolic control (as measured by glycated haemoglobin). Fewer people experienced symptomatic or nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes with either of the two analogues. No conclusive information on late ...
Light physical conditioning programmes for workers with back pain
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Evidence shows that light physical conditioning programs are not effective and should not be used
Reducing or stopping light physical conditioning programs for workers with back pain is likely to have miminal impact on the quality of patient care in the NHS but is likely to result in productivity savings.
The Implications for practice section of the Cochrane review stated:
For workers with acute back pain a physical ...
