Intratympanic corticosteroids vs systemic corticosteroids

Change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB Negative values represent lowering and positive values represent raising of the hearing threshold. A lower hearing threshold represents hearing improvement. Â · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Intratympanic corticosteroids showed no clear difference in change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB… compared with systemic corticosteroids (low certainty).

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) vs systemic corticosteroids alone

Change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB Negative values represent lowering and positive values represent raising of the hearing threshold. A lower hearing threshold represents hearing improvement. Â · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) showed no clear difference in change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB… compared with systemic corticosteroids alone (low certainty).

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) vs systemic corticosteroids alone

Final hearing threshold determined by PTA (a lower value represents better hearing) · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

It is very uncertain whether intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) changes final hearing threshold determined by PTA A lower value represents… compared with systemic corticosteroids alone (very low certainty).

Summary of findings table ‐ Continuation vs reduction of polypharmacy

Leaving the study early ‐ for any reason ‐ overall acceptability (combined time points) · patients with schizophrenia

Summary of findings table ‐ Continuation may leads to lower leaving the study early due to any reason – overall acceptability… compared with reduction of polypharmacy (low certainty).

Summary of findings table ‐ Antipsychotic dose reduction vs dose continuation

Leaving the study early ‐ for any reason ‐ overall acceptability (combined time points) · patients with schizophrenia

Summary of findings table ‐ Antipsychotic dose reduction probably leads to higher leaving the study early ‐ for any reason ‐ overall acceptability… compared with dose continuation (moderate certainty).

Rubber dam vs Isolite system

Participant acceptance/satisfaction · Dental patients undergoing direct or indirect restorative treatment (no age or gender restriction)
1 finding from 1 review
  • Rubber dam isolation for restorative treatment in dental patients 2021 · Cochrane All outcomes
    Pit and fissure sealing (permanent molars)
    Rubber dam may be associated with significantly lower satisfaction than the Isolite system but evidence very uncertain, mainly worse comfort (31%, P=0.02) and less preference (26%, P=0.002) (Alhareky 2014).
