Acknowledgements

This systematic review would have not been possible without the continuous and enthusiastic support of most of the trials investigators. They collaborated in the different phases of this review up to the publication of our earlier review (D'Amico 1998) by providing information on the design and conduct of their studies, checking the accuracy of the data before the final analysis, attending a meeting where preliminary results were presented and, finally, reviewing earlier drafts of the manuscript. They are listed below:

This review was originally initiated at the request of the French Society of Intensive Care in preparation for the consensus conference on Selective Decontamination of the Digestive Tract (Paris, December 1991) and led to the first publication in 1993 (SDD Group 1993). It was then continued and updated between 1993 and 1998 through resources made available from the Mario Negri Institute, Milan, Italy and an unrestricted grant provided by Hoechst Marion Roussel Italy, the sponsors had no control on the protocol preparation, data analysis and manuscript review and their support was sought after the decision of undertaking the review by the review authors. Since 2004 the review has been updated without any specific research grant attached using institutional resources of the review authors.

Finally, the review authors wish to thank the following referees for commenting on the 2009 updated review: Janet Wale, Tim Kenealy, Max Bulsara, and Jenny Doust.

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.
