Differences between protocol and review

This updated review uses 14 days, rather than seven days, as the primary treatment outcome time and estimates risk ratios and hazard ratios instead of odds ratios.

Notes

Issue 12 2010: This review was substantively updated and the original title of 'Therapeutic interventions for herpes simplex virus epithelial keratitis' was changed.

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.
