Several telerehabilitation interventions could be an alternative method of service delivery in populations with MS. There is insufficient evidence to support what types of telerehabilitation interventions are effective and in what context. More consistent trials are needed to build evidence for the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these interventions.

In patients with heart failure, structured telephone support and non-invasive home telemonitoring reduce the risk of all-cause mortality and hospitalizations related to heart failure; These interventions also demonstrated improvements in health-related quality of life, as well as in knowledge of heart failure and self-care behavior. The studies also demonstrated participant satisfaction with most of the interventions that evaluated this outcome.

The cost of a health service and the acceptability of patients and healthcare professionals are unclear due to the limited data reported for these outcomes. The effectiveness of TM may depend on a few different factors, including those related to the study population eg the severity of the condition and the disease history of the participants, the role of the intervention eg if used to manage a chronic condition, or to provide access to diagnostic services, as well as the healthcare ...
Coronavirus (COVID-19): Evidence Collection. Evidence Aid
Some patients with COVID-19 will become critically ill and develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). They may require mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU). They might be placed in the prone position for this, rather than in a supine or recumbent position.
In this Cochrane systematic review, the authors searched for randomized trials of the effects of using a prone position rather than a supine or semi-recumbent position during conventional MV for adults with ...
Coronavirus (COVID-19): Evidence Collection. Evidence Aid
Some patients with COVID-19 will become critically ill and need to be treated in an intensive care unit (ICU). Pneumonia is the most common hospital-acquired infection, particularly affecting patients in the ICU. Antibiotic courses of different lengths are used to treat it.
In this Cochrane systematic review, the authors searched for randomized trials comparing a ‘short’ duration of antibiotic therapy versus a ‘prolonged’ course for hospital-acquired pneumonia in critically ill adults, ...
