The primary outcome was the rate of maternal readmission. The summary measures were reported as relative risk (RR) or as mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using the random effect...
Seven RCTs including 4,267 individuals, of which 2,125 (49.8%) randomized in the early discharge and 2,142 (50.2%) in the late discharge group were included. There was no difference between the two gr...
There is no increase in the rate of maternal readmission following early hospital discharge at 24-28 hours as opposed to later hospital discharge after a CD. The rates of neonatal readmission and neon...
To reveal the evolution of pain management strategies following mandibular third molar (M3M) exodontia, examine the geographic contribution of research, and explore future developments through a bibli...
A comprehensive search was conducted in various leading databases. Data on bibliometrics, participant demographics, and agent regimens were extracted for eligible studies. Descriptive bibliometrics, c...
A total of 173 randomized control trials from 2004 to 2024 were included. The number of publications showed a consistent upward trend since 2007. Brazil exhibited the most publications and citations. ...
This study revealed information on the research outputs, distribution, and future developments of analgesic agents following M3M exodontia. Brazil exhibited the highest level of productivity and recor...
The bibliometric analysis offers insights into the field of pain management following mandibular 3rd molar exodontia and how it has evolved. Tramadol and piroxicam have become research hotspots in rec...
The rise in internet addiction, including web-based gaming and social networking services, is a serious concern. Even with access to medical institutions and counseling services, individuals with inte...
This study was a pilot randomized controlled trial to test the feasibility of remote cognitive behavioral therapy via videoconferencing for parents of adolescents with internet addiction....
A total of 13 parents of adolescents aged 12-20 years with internet addiction were recruited and randomly assigned to either 12 sessions of the videoconference-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (...
As the primary outcome, the mean total Internet Addiction Test score decreased from 67.7 (SD 18.3; 6/13, 46%) at week 0 to 56.2 (SD 25.1; 5/9, 56%) at week 13 in the vCBT group, compared to an increas...
