April sees five\u00a0new e\"\"<\/a>ntries in the top 10 most read articles. Reaching number one this month is a systematic\u00a0review of cohort studies by Ravnskov et al<\/em>, which investigates the association between low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and mortality in the elderly. Results indicate that high LDL-C is inversely associated with mortality in most people aged over 60, questioning the validity of the cholesterol hypothesis. In light of their results, Ravnskov et al<\/em> suggest that a re-evaluation of the guidelines recommending pharmacological reduction of LDL-C in the elderly is needed.<\/p>\n

Palser et al<\/em> are in at number three with a qualitative study exploring the views of people with cystic fibrosis, and those close to them, of their first experience of respiratory infection from\u00a0Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/em>. Reaching number five is a systematic review assessing the evidence for the effectiveness of social prescribing. Bickerdike at al<\/em> were not able to measure\u00a0success or cost effectiveness due to limited detail in the data collected, but found that social prescribing is widely implemented and encouraged.<\/p>\n

Also making its way into the top ten is a systematic review and meta-analysis by Whiting et al<\/em> evaluating the risks and benefits of temporarily discontinuing medications to prevent acute kidney injury. Finally, at number 10 this month is a systematic review of systematic reviews by Abraha et el,<\/em> which provides an overview of non-pharmacological interventions for behavioural and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD). Abraha et el <\/em>found great variation in how the same treatments are applied and assessed and that conclude that music therapy and behavioural management treatments were effective for reducing BPSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
