Notes

The protocol for this systematic review was first published in Issue 3, 1997 of The Cochrane Library. The reviewers, Dr T Jørgensen and H Laugesen have abandoned the preparation of the systematic review. This necessitated that an update of the protocol and preparation of the review be performed by a new team of reviewers. They are F Keus, JAF de Jong, HG Gooszen, and CJHM van Laarhoven. Due to the large number of identified trials it was considered wiser in terms of clarity and usability to produce three separate reviews. Thus this review is one of the three.

Correction of name
Eric Keus, the lead author of the protocol, and Frederik Keus, the lead author of the review, is one and the same person.
