EFFECTIVENESS OF METHENAMINE HIPPURATE IN PREVENTING URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS: AN UPDATED SYSTEMATIC REVIEW, META-ANALYSIS AND TRIAL SEQUENTIAL ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS

Abstract Introduction Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a significant health problem worldwide, especially among women.methenamine hippurate has been proposed as a preventive measure against recurrent UTIs.This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of methenamine hippurate in preventing UTIs, incorporatin

A common quality indicator for monitoring and comparing hospitals is based on death within 30 days of admission.An important use is to determine whether a hospital has higher or lower mortality than other hospitals.Thus, the ability to identify such outliers correctly is essential.Two approaches for detection are: 1) calculating the ratio of observ

Clay soils are known for their water sensitivity, which causes irreparable damage to any structure built on this type of soil.In order to avoid such problem, it is necessary to use various improvement and stabilization methods such as treatment with lime.This process has been used successfully in the field for decades.The addition of lime generates

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is an emerging approach of software engineering.MDE emphasizes the construction of models from which the implementation should be derived by applying model transformations.The Ontology Definition Meta-model toner (ODM) has been proposed as a profile for UML models of the Web Ontology Language (OWL).In this context, tr
