Contributions of authors

Professor Pattinson wrote the first draft of the review and compiled all the comments from the other review authors. Drs Bastos, Say and Makin contributed by doing the extensive literature search, commenting and improving the text. Dr Say provided access to and searched the unique WHO systematic review of maternal mortality and morbidity database and extracted the information on serial data from it. All review authors would have reviewed the relevant articles had there been any.

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.
