Authors' objectives:
This report summarizes the published uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the adult population identified through a systematic literature search. Key questions addressed in this report are:
1. What are the uses of HBOT in the adult population?
2. What kind of evidence (the type and quantity) is available for each use (e.g., systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCT), prospective studies and other)? Case reports of novel uses (i.e., not covered by RCTs or cohort studies) should also be included.
3. What are the overall conclusions reported in systematic reviews? (Include meta-analysis estimate of effect when available).
