Inhaled corticosteroids for cystic fibrosis—are they worth the risk?
Abstract Eco‐paediatrics is an occasional feature in Evidence‐Based Child Health: A Cochrane Review Journal. Our goal is to contribute to the worldwide discussion on reducing waste in health care. In each instalment, we will select a recent Cochrane review highlighting a practice, still in use, which the available evidence tells us should be discontinued.

Treatment of acute gastroenteritis in children: an overview of systematic reviews of interventions commonly used in developed countries
Conclusions:Given that oral rehydration is less invasive than IV rehydration with no evidence of important clinical differences, it is the first choice for rehydration in children with AGE and mild‐to‐moderate dehydration. As the vast majority of children with AGE do not require IV rehydration, oral ondansetron administration to children with significant vomiting should be performed to reduce the use of IV rehydration and the need for hospital admission. In children deemed too unwell to receive oral rehydration therapy, IV ondansetron administration is an option, as its use is associated with lower hospital admission r...

Home safety education and provision of safety equipment for injury prevention (Review)
Abstract BackgroundIn industrialised countries injuries (including burns, poisoning or drowning) are the leading cause of childhood death and steep social gradients exist in child injury mortality and morbidity. The majority of injuries in pre‐school children occur at home but there is little meta‐analytic evidence that child home safety interventions reduce injury rates or improve a range of safety practices, and little evidence on their effect by social group. ObjectivesWe evaluated the effectiveness of home safety education, with or without the provision of low cost, discounted or free equipment (hereafter referred ...
