There is no reliable information available on the use of corticosteroids in adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome on late mortality from all causes (after three months).Due to very low certainty evidence, it is not known whether corticosteroids lead to little or no difference in late mortality from all causes (after three months) (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.64 at 1.52; one study, 180 participants).
Corticosteroids can reduce all-cause mortality within three months by 86 per 1,000 patients (with up to 161 fewer or 19 more deaths). However, the 95% confidence interval (CI) includes the possibility of increasing and decreasing deaths (relative risk [RR] 0.77; 95% CI 0.57 to 1.05; six studies, 574 participants ; evidence of low certainty).
Coronavirus (COVID-19): Evidence Collection. Evidence Aid
In this Cochrane systematic review and network meta-analysis, the authors searched for randomized and quasi-randomized trials of pharmacological interventions for treating delirium in critically ill adults. They did not restrict their search by type or language of publication and did the search in March 2019. They included 14 studies (1844 participants). They also identified 10 ongoing trials and 6 studies awaiting classification

Cochrane - Colección Especial - medidas de prevención y control de la infección
This review assesses whether using chlorhexidine (instead of soap and water) to bathe patients in an intensive care unit (ICU), or a high‐dependency or critical care unit reduces the number of hospital‐acquired infections. The evidence available from the studies we analysed was very low quality, meaning that we cannot be certain whether bathing with chlorhexidine reduces the likelihood of critically‐ill patients developing an infection, or dying. We are also uncertain whether bathing ...
