Acknowledgements

The advice of Prof P Hazell is gratefully acknowledged. The 2002 Review Completion Workshop run at the Cochrane Centre in Melbourne was extremely helpful and we would like to thank Dr Sally Green and centre staff for organising this. We would like to thank Jane Dennis, who advised us on many aspects of the review and also assisted with second reviewing of the tables of bias, as well as Vanessa Jordan for the advice she provided. We would like to thank Sarah Dawson (the trials search co‐ordinator) for updating and running the search, as well as helping with screening. We would like to thank Matt Gillard for assistance with data extraction and entry. We would like to thank Magenta Simmons for assisting with screening retrieved articles from the most recent search update and Nellie Muller who contributed to the drafting of the original published protocol but who is no longer available to assist with writing the review.

Differences between protocol and review

In the first version of the review, the protocol indicated that uncontrolled and controlled clinical trials, open trials, case‐controlled trials, and cohort studies (e.g. Altman 1991; Myles 2000; SIGN 2000) would be included if there were no, very few, or only poor quality RCTs. However, given the large number of RCTs retrieved both for the first version and for this updated version of the review, only RCTs have been included.

In the updated version of the review, fewer outcomes have been included given the paucity of data available in the first version of the review for these additional outcomes, and because of the large number of studies included in this update.

Assessment of the risk of bias has been used in this version of the review, updating the previous quality assessment methods used.

Notes

During the course of this review update the authors have recognised that the review topic might now be better addressed in a series of separate intervention specific reviews and this work is likely to be undertaken during the next year.

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.
