Contributions of authors
Chris Del Mar first conceived the review, presenting it as a meta‐analysis in a journal (Del Mar 1992a; Del Mar 1992b). It was subsequently improved and modified for The Cochrane Library with Paul Glasziou (who improved the subgroup analyses) and Anneliese Spinks (who updated searches and completed the analyses).

Thanks to Prof Jim Dickinson for helpful suggestions about dividing the studies into early and late last century to examine the idea that the pathogenesis of this illness, and/or its sequelae, have changed with time. Thanks to Ian Thomas and Michael Thomas for research assistance. Thanks to Beth Clewer and Katie Farmer who in January 1999 drew our attention to mistakes in the data extraction by their careful checking of original studies as part of their medical student project at the University of Bristol Medical School. The authors wish to thank the following people for commenting on the 2006 draft of this updated review: Craig Mellis, Mark Jones and Tom Fahey.
