Summary of findings: intranasal steroids showed no clear difference in hearing loss (Audiometry failing) [9 months]2 compared with control (moderate certainty).
Summary of findings: intranasal steroids showed no clear difference in OME resolution at short‐term compared with control (moderate certainty).
Summary of findings: intranasal steroids showed no clear difference in OME resolution at intermediate‐term compared with control (moderate certainty).
Summary of findings: intranasal steroids probably leads to lower OME resolution at long‐term compared with control (moderate certainty).
The review found no eligible studies for this question.
Summary of findings: intranasal steroids showed no clear difference in adverse effects [3 months] compared with control (low certainty).
ORS ≤ 270 mOsm/L (rice‐based) showed no clear difference in severe biochemical hyponatraemia(serum sodium < 125 mmol/L) compared with ORS ≥ 310 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) (low certainty).
ORS ≤ 270 mOsm/L (rice‐based) showed no clear difference in biochemical hyponatraemia(serum sodium < 130 mmol/L) compared with ORS ≥ 310 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) (low certainty).
ORS ≤ 270 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) showed no clear difference in need for unscheduled intravenous infusion compared with ORS ≥ 310 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) (moderate certainty).
ORS ≤ 270 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) probably leads to higher biochemical hyponatraemia (serum sodium < 130 mmol/L) compared with ORS ≥ 310 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) (moderate certainty).
ORS ≤ 270 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) showed no clear difference in severe biochemical hyponatraemia (serum sodium < 125 mmol/L) compared with ORS ≥ 310 mOsm/L (glucose‐based) (low certainty).
