The main findings of the present trial were that laparoscopic lavage for perforated diverticulitis with purulent peritonitis (Hinchey III) was feasible and safe.
The findings of the present trial show that moxibustion, like acupuncture, can be a useful adjunctive treatment for patients with KOA.
Findings of the present trial suggest that the tested web-based coaching program for weight loss is effective in short-term.
In general, the effect size was reported to be small to moderate, demonstrating the need for further trials that may confirm the positive findings of the present trial and shed light on this controversial field.
The findings of the present trial may have some biases arising from the small number of patients involved and from the lack of reliable biomarkers for IBS and FMS diagnosis/follow-up (compulsorily based on questionnaires, which are inevitably subjective).
This is in agreement with the finding in the present trial.
In light of these findings, the present trial was designed to determine the impact of telephone support and UADS on the total number of antenatal visits in low risk nulliparous women receiving the recommended reduced schedule of care [ 26].
The study protocol presented here provides an overview of the present trial including a description of the methods, design, and current status of the trial as well as a discussion of the possible implications that may arise from the findings.
The differences between the findings of the pilot trial and the present trial are therefore more parsimoniously explained by the relative effectiveness of structured care than by an ineffectiveness of CBT when administered by primary care doctors following minimal training.
In accord with the findings of the present study, trials reporting surrogate primary outcomes were more likely to report a positive treatment effect (77 out of 115 trials, 67%) than trials reporting final patient related primary outcomes (113 out of 209 trials, 54%, P=0.02).
