To reduce the transmission of respiratory diseases by viruses, the following effective interventions should be implemented, preferably in combination:
- Frequent hand washing, with or without antiseptics attached.
- Barrier measures such as gloves, gowns and masks with filtration devices.
- Diagnosis of suspicion with isolation of probable cases.
In addition, efforts should be focused on implementing all three interventions to reduce transmission from young children, who are generally the most ...
There is moderate‐certainty evidence that antifibrinolytics and combined hormonal oral contraceptives reduce heavy menstrual bleeding when compared with placebo. There is low‐certainty evidence that non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce heavy menstrual bleeding when compared with placebo. There is low‐certainty evidence that antifibrinolytics are more effective in reducing heavy menstrual bleeding when compared with NSAIDs, short‐cycle progestogen, or long‐cycle ...

• The evidence on the transmissibility of the disease among children and from children to adults is contradictory and varies from low to very low quality. Three studies report transmission rates of SARS-CoV- 2 among children equal to those of adults, while five studies report lower transmissibility among children.
• Evidence indicates a lower rate of infection by SARS-CoV-2 in children in comparison to general population.
Besides, children present milder or asymptomatic forms of COVID-19. ...
Healthcare workers report several factors that influence their ability and willingness to follow infection prevention and control guidelines when caring for patients with respiratory infectious diseases. These include factors linked to the practice guideline itself and how it is communicated, support from health care managers, workplace culture, training, physical space, accessibility and confidence in PPE, and a desire to provide good patient care. The review also highlights the importance of ...
This is an update of a Cochrane review published in 2016 and previously updated in 2019. It included 24 studies with 2,278 participants, of which 14 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), one was a quasi-randomized RCT, and nine were of nonrandomized design.
The evidence for all results is of very low certainty, based on one or two studies, with indirect evidence from sham studies, and at high risk of bias.
