$Interventions for treating proximal humeral fractures in adults (Review)$

Footnotes 1 Please note that due to its longer half-life, PCR adjusted treatment failure with DHA-P may be underestimated at this time point. 2 One trial (Hasugian 2005 IDN) also reported outcomes at day 42 but losses to follow up were very high (> 20%) at this time point. 3 Hasugian 2005 IDN and Karema 2004 RWA. 4 No serious limitations: Allocation concealment was assessed as ’low risk of bias’ in one trial and ’unclear’ in one trial. Laboratory staff were blinded in both trials. 5 No serious inconsistency: Heterogeneity was low. 6 One trial was conducted in Africa (Rwanda, transmission intensity not reported) and one in Asia (Indonesia, unstable transmission). Children aged < one year and pregnant or lactating women were excluded. 7 Serious indirectness: Due to variable resistance rates to amodiaquine extrapolation to other areas is likely to be unreliable. 8 No serious imprecision: The 95% CI of the pooled estimate includes appreciable and non-appreciable benefit with DHA-P over AS+AQ but does not cross the line of no effect. 9 No serious limitations: Allocation concealment was assessed as ’low risk of bias’ in this trial (Hasugian 2005 IDN). 10 Serious indirectness: Only one trial (Hasugian 2005 IDN) assessed this outcome. 11 No serious imprecision: Both limits of the 95% CI imply appreciable benefit with DHA-P over AS+AQ. 12 Both trials report no differences in gametocyte carriage but figures were not given. 13 Very serious imprecision: The 95% CI includes appreciable benefit or harm with each drugs over the other. 14 Serious limitations: This trial was open label. Is Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine superior to Artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for treating uncomplicated malaria? Patient or population: Patients with uncomplicated malaria Settings: Endemic areas excluding Southeast Asia Intervention: Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine Comparison: Artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine Outcomes Illustrative comparative risks* (95% CI) Relative effect (95% CI) Efficacy: Total Failure Day 42 PCR adjusted Assumed risk Corresponding risk Artesunate plus sulfadoxinepyrimethamine Dihydroartemisinin - piperaquine 202 per 1000 156 per 1000 (79 to 305) RR 0.77 (0.39 to 1.51) Artemisinin-based combination therapy for treating uncomplicated malaria (Review) Copyright © 2009 The Cochrane Collaboration.

The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio GRADE Working Group grades of evidence High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect. Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate. Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate. Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate. Footnotes 1 Karunajeewa 2007 PNG. 2 Serious limitations: No allocation concealment was described. Laboratory staff were blinded to treatment allocation. 3 Serious indirectness: Data only available from one country. 4 Very serious imprecision: The 95% CI includes appreciable benefit and harm of one drug over the other. 5 No serious imprecision: Both limits of the 95% CI suggest appreciable benefit with DHA-P. 6 Karunajeewa 2007 PNG reports that there were no differences in gametocyte carriage but no figures were given.
