Differences between protocol and review

Oxygen saturation was designated as the primary outcome in the 2010 update. Risk of bias was assessed by two review authors and the risk of bias table was completed for all studies in the 2010 update. Sensitivity analysis for low risk of bias studies, studies including only first time wheezers and studies including only infants less or equal to 12 months of age was completed in the 2010 update.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
