Differences between protocol and review

We refined the inclusion criteria to exclude trials involving minority groups that were not indigenous to the country of the study. This resulted in the exclusion of a trial included in an earlier version of the review (La Roche 2006).

The risk of bias assessment was updated in 2010 and subsequent issues to reflect recommendations of the Cochraen Risk of bias tool which is described in chapter 8 of the Cochrane handbook (Higgins 2008).

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.
