Differences between protocol and review

We added measures of exercise tolerance and antibiotic use as secondary outcomes. We performed no analyses using a random‐effects model due to an absence of significant statistical heterogeneity. We calculated no standardised mean differences as no data of differing metric scales were combined. We reported outcome data suitable for quantitative analysis but expressed as different types (e.g. dichotomous and ratio) separately and did not pool.

Notes

This review superseeds a previous Cochrane review on bronchopulmonary hygiene physical therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis (Jones 1998) which is no longer being updated.

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.
