Interventions for preventing distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) in cystic fibrosis
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laxative agents of differing types for preventing DIOS (complete and incomplete) in children and adults with CF. If possible, we aim to assess the optimal laxative regimen by comparing the evidence for osmotic laxatives, stimulant laxatives and mucolytic agents.
