This study also showed a significant increase in the proportion of children with no episodes of AOM (p < 0.001) in the ventilation tube group. The other included study also found a higher proportion of patients in the ventilation tube group had no episodes of AOM in the six months after intervention, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.16).Ventilation tubes have a significant role in maintaining a 'disease-free' state in the first six months after insertion. Further research is required to investigate the effect beyond six months. Clinicians should consider the possible adverse effects of gromm...

Adenoidal hypertrophy is generally considered a common condition of childhood. When obstructive sleep apnoea or cardio-respiratory syndrome occurs, adenoidectomy is generally indicated. In less severe cases, non-surgical interventions may be considered, however few medical alternatives are currently available. Intranasal steroids may be used to reduce nasal airway obstruction.To assess the effectiveness of intranasal corticosteroids for improving nasal airway obstruction in children with moderate to severe adenoidal hypertrophy.Our search included the Cochrane Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Group Trials Register, the Cochr...

Evidence-Based Child Health publishes articles intended to help readers understand the results of systematic reviews and to translate those results to clinical practise. An adequate understanding how to use estimates of effects reported in Cochrane systematic reviews is important for clinicians and patients who are involved in clinical decisions about treatment in children. In this issue, we are reprinting the first instalment of Tips and Tricks, originally published in Volume 1, Issue 1, of Evidence-Based Child Health to re-address the concepts of relative risk, risk difference and number needed to treat.

Diarrhoea is a common cause of morbidity and a leading cause of death among children aged less than five years, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It is transmitted by ingesting contaminated food or drink, by direct person-to-person contact, or from contaminated hands. Hand washing is one of a range of hygiene promotion interventions that can interrupt the transmission of diarrhoea-causing pathogens.To evaluate the effects of interventions to promote hand washing on diarrhoeal episodes in children and adults.In May 2007, we searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group Specialized Register, CENTRAL (The Co...

There is evidence that children's decisions to smoke are influenced by family and friends.To assess the effectiveness of interventions to help family members to strengthen non-smoking attitudes and promote non-smoking by children and other family members.We searched 14 electronic bibliographic databases, including the Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group specialized register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO and CINAHL. We also searched unpublished material, and the reference lists of key articles. We performed both free-text Internet searches and targeted searches of appropriate web sites, and we hand-searched key journals not avail...

Abstinence-plus interventions promote sexual abstinence as the best means of preventing acquisition of HIV, but also encourage safer-sex strategies (eg condom use) for sexually active participants.To assess the effects of abstinence-plus programs for HIV prevention in high-income countries.We searched 30 electronic databases (eg CENTRAL, PubMed, EMBASE, AIDSLINE, PsycINFO) ending February 2007. Cross-referencing, hand-searching, and contacting experts yielded additional citations.We included randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials evaluating abstinence-plus interventions in high-income countries (as defined by th...

This overview critically evaluates the available evidence The Cochrane Library offers on the treatment of acute otitis media (AOM). AOM is one of the most common clinical problems in childhood with peak incidence occurring in the first two years of life.To summarize Cochrane reviews that assess the effects of treatments for AOM in children.The Cochrane Library was searched using the terms 'otitis media' and 'ear infection'. Those reviews focusing on the treatment of AOM in children were included. Data on patient relevant outcomes (pain, treatment failure, AOM recurrence, and adverse events) were extracted by two authors.Fi...

Approximately a third of all fractures in children occur at the wrist, usually from falling onto an outstretched hand.We aimed to evaluate removable splintage versus plaster casts (requiring removal by a specialist) for undisplaced compression (buckle) fractures; cast length and position; and the role of surgical fixation for displaced wrist fractures in children.We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Specialised Register (October 2007), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library 2007, Issue 4), MEDLINE (from 1966), EMBASE (from 1988), CINAHL (from 1982) and reference lis...

Urinary tract infection (UTI), worldwide, is a major source of disease in children and adults. As it may have long-term consequences such as kidney failure and hypertension, it is important to treat patients with UTI adequately. Although standard management of severe UTI usually means intravenous (IV) therapy, at least initially, there are studies showing that oral therapy may also be effective.To assess whether the mode of administration of antibiotic therapy for severe UTI has an effect on cure rate, reinfection rate and kidney scarring.The Cochrane Renal Group's specialised register, the Cochrane Central Register of Con...
