Differences between protocol and review

We did not search PsycINFO as stated in the protocol we deemed it irrelevant to the study topic. At the time of search, HealthStar was no longer available as a separate database. The CINAHL search was intended to replace ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source.

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.
