Differences between protocol and review

There are several differences between the protocol (Estcourt 2015) and this review due to lack of data.

There were no completed studies and therefore we could not:

  • Report on any of the primary or secondary outcomes of the review.

  • Perform a 'Risk of bias' assessment.

  • Assess the quality of the evidence or produce a 'Summary of findings' table.

  • Assess publication bias.

  • Perform any analyses or subgroup analyses.

Notes

This review was a rapid review (definition of a rapid review as previously agreed with the Cochrane Haematological Malignancies Group), we only included English language publications. No relevant non‐English language reports were identified during the searches.

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.
