Abstract

Objectives

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a major cause of perinatal death and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI). Hypothermia (HT) is the standard of care; however, additional neuroprotective agents are required to improve prognosis. The authors searched for all drugs in combination with HT and compared their effects using a network meta-analysis.

Methods

The authors searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library until September 24, 2022 for articles assessing mortality, NDI, seizures, and abnormal brain imaging findings in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Direct pairwise comparisons and a network meta-analysis was performed under random effects.

Results

Thirteen randomized clinical trials enroled 902 newborns treated with six combination therapies: erythropoietin magnesium sulfate, melatonin (MT), topiramate, xenon, and darbepoetin alfa. The results of all comparisons were not statistically significant, except for NDI, HT vs. MT+HT: odds ratio = 6.67, 95% confidence interval = 1.14–38.83; however, the overall evidence quality was low for the small sample size.

Conclusions

Currently, no combination therapy can reduce mortality, seizures, or abnormal brain imaging findings in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. According to low quality evidence, HT combined with MT may reduce NDI.

Eosinophile Ösophagitis: Doppelte Dosis PPI wirkt besser

Protonenpumpenhemmer führen bei eosinophiler Ösophagitis nur in etwa jedem zweiten Fall zu einer klinischen bzw. histologischen Remission, so das Ergebnis einer Metaanalyse. Verbessern lässt sich die Quote möglicherweise mit einer Dosisverdopplung und der Aufteilung der Tagesdosis.

Mit Probiotika schneller fieberfrei?

Kinder mit fieberhaften Infektionen der oberen Atemwege profitieren möglicherweise von einer unterstützenden Behandlung mit Probiotika. Laut einer Studie aus Mailand steckt dahinter mehr als ein Placeboeffekt.

Hyperpronation beim „Kindermädchen-Ellenbogen“ wohl überlegen

Bei Kindern mit Radiusköpfchen-Subluxation ist die Hyperpronation wohl der klassischen Supinations-Flexionstechnik überlegen, möglicherweise auch im Hinblick auf Schmerzen. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer aktuellen Metaanalyse hin.

Wer hat Angst vorm elektromagnetischen Feld?

Ist elektromagnetische Strahlung auch unterhalb von gesetzlichen Grenzwerten gesundheitsschädlich? Ein kleiner Teil der Ärzteschaft hält das für möglich, wobei eher an psychosomatische Effekte gedacht wird, wie eine deutsche Studie nahelegt. Das selbst eingeschätzte Wissen zum Thema ist indes gering.
