Differences between protocol and review

The inclusion criteria was children under 15 years old with tracheomalacia, but we included a trial in which the oldest child enrolled was 15.5 years (Boogaard 2009).

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.
