| | Oral immunoglobulin for preventing necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm and low birth-weight neonates |
 | | There are concerns, however, about the strength of the evidence of the effectiveness of the use of oral immunoglobulins. | | | Diagnosis of definite NEC during the study period, defined as clinical evidence of gastrointestinal and systemic illness, confirmed by pneumatosis intestinalis, pneumoperitoneum, portal venous gas, surgery or postmortem. | | | The proportion of neonates given blood transfusions, however, was similar in the experimental and control groups (62.2% vs. 69.7%) suggesting that clinically important haemolysis did not occur. |

| | Intravenous immunoglobulin for MS [Dec 2004; 130-6] |
| | Because of the nature of the condition and the dearth of effective therapies, interest was natural, and led to small but inconsistent randomised trials. | | | Strong negative trials are incredibly helpful because they give us a very positive signal that an intervention does not work in a particular condition. | | | Excluded were patients with an attack within 30 days of starting date, patients without MRI brain lesions consistent with multiple sclerosis, and various previous treatments, at least without a treatment-free period. |

| | We found no randomised controlled trials which assessed the effectiveness or safety of oral immunoglobulin preparations for the treatment of rotavirus diarrhoea in hospitalised low birthweight infants. | | | Cochrane reviews are regularly updated as new evidence emerges and in response to comments and criticisms, and The Cochrane Library should be consulted for the most recent version of the Review. | | | The standardized review methods of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group (CNRG) were to be used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. |
