Notes
In the previously published protocol, as part of an a priori sensitivity analysis, we stated that we would assess the impact of the etiology of respiratory failure (COPD vs non‐COPD) on (i) the proportion of weaning failures and (ii) mortality. In the review, we identified two studies restricted to patients with COPD and three studies with mixed patient populations. In the absence of individual patient data, we compared studies restricted to COPD patients versus those with mixed patient populations. To explore for potential differences in response to NPPV we compared studies enrolling at least 50% COPD patients to those enrolling less than 50% COPD on mortality.
To search Embase: we used the following Emtree terms: respiratory failure (explode), positive end‐expiratory pressure (explode) and weaning (explode). In addition, we used the Emtag: artificial ventilation.
In the protocol, we stated that the MEDLINE search strategy would be limited to include the following publication types: clinical trials, controlled clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, multicenter studies and meta‐analyses. In the review we did not limit the most recent literature search, conducted in July 2003, by publication type.
