Oral anticoagulants versus antiplatelet therapy for preventing further vascular events after transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke of presumed arterial origin
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Evidence shows that the harms of using low or medium intensity anticoagulation for the prevention of further vascular events after a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke of presumed arterial origin (excluding cervical artery dissection) may outweigh the benefits.
There was no benefit seen by using low intensity anticoagulation, unclear benefit with medium intensity anticoagulation and a higher risk associated with using higher ...
Colloids versus crystalloids for fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Evidence shows that the use of colloids rather than crystalloids for intravascular volume resuscitation in critically ill patients is not cost effective and colloids should not be used routinely.
The evidence does not support the routine use of colloids compared with crystalloids as a treatment for intravascular volume resuscitation in critically ill patients following trauma, burns or surgery, outside the context of randomised controlled trials ...
Calcium antagonists for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Limited evidence suggests that oral nimodipine demonstrates increased benefits by reducing the risks of poor outcome and secondary ischaemia, with only modest risks. Evidence shows that the harms of intravenous calcium antagonists for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage may outweigh the benefits.
The intravenous administration of calcium antagonists should not be offered for routine use, given the limited evidence to support its use, higher costs ...
Single dose oral codeine, as a single agent, for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Evidence shows that single doses of codeine 60 mg for acute postoperative dental pain are not effective and should not be used as a first line analgesic agent.
Reducing or stopping the use of single doses of codeine 60 mg for acute postoperative dental pain is likely to improve the quality of patient care in the NHS and to result in productivity savings.
The Implications for practice section of the Cochrane review stated: ...
Routine chest physiotherapy for pneumonia in adults
Cochrane Quality and Productivity topics
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
"NICE summary of review conclusions
Chest physiotherapy should not be recommended as a routine adjunctive treatment for pneumonia in adults as it is not supported by sufficient good quality evidence. Consideration could be given to using it only within the context of a research or audit project.
The effect of reducing or stopping routine chest physiotherapy for pneumonia in adults is difficult to ascertain but is not likely to be detrimental to the quality of patient care. ...
