An interesting observation is that there seems to be a consensus forming between the guidelines, where the supporting evidence and clinical experience has led to the majority of guidelines preferring an ACEI or ARB combined with a CCB, or indeed a thiazide diuretic [ 3, 5, 7, 8, 10].
To illustrate, the policy is binding upon the provincial governments but not the implementation guidelines and, reportedly, the Western Cape government had rejected the guidelines, preferring to work according to its own plans for integrating CHBC programmes into PHC services, which include its own procedures for recruitment and payment of CHWs.
We undertook a pooled analysis, using the PRISMA reporting guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), 7 of every child and adolescent meningioma case series published over the last 23 years, with the aim of defining the overall morbidity in survivors of this disease.
While ESMO equally recommends LMWH, UFH and Fondaparinux, the German guideline prefers LMWH over the other options based on extrapolations from three placebo controlled randomized trials with LMWH, in which between 5 and 15% of patients had cancer at baseline [ 11, 15- 18].
The recommendation in the NICE guidelines to prefer calcium channel blockers is also notable and further meta-analysis is needed to better define the relationship between race and blood pressure response to calcium channel blockers.
