Effects of fluid and drinking on pneumonia mortality in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Background and aims: Advice to drink plenty of fluid is common in respiratory infections. We assessed whether low fluid intake (dehydration) altered outcomes in adults with pneumonia. Methods: We systematically reviewed trials increasing fluid intake... Read More about Effects of fluid and drinking on pneumonia mortality in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Impact of home food production on nutritional blindness, stunting, wasting, underweight and mortality in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials (2020)
Journal Article

Vitamin A deficiency is highly prevalent and remains the major cause of nutritional blindness in children in low-and middle-income countries, despite supplementation programmes. Xeropthalmia (severe drying and thickening of the conjunctiva) is caused...
