Knut Schroeder (KS) and Tom Fahey (TF) conceived and designed the review, undertook the searches, performed data collection, screened the search results, screened retrieved papers against the inclusion criteria, appraised the quality of the papers, extracted data from papers, interpreted the data, organised the retrieval of papers, wrote to authors of papers for additional information, managed the data, entered data into RevMan and wrote the review.
Steve McDonald and Ron D'Souza from the Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections Group helped design the initial search strategy and performed additional searches. Liz Dooley and Ruth Foxlee provided further help and support with additional searches for the 2004 update.
