Differences between protocol and review

In addition to the search of the Pregnancy and Childbirth Group Trials Register, we also searched PubMed ‐ this was not pre‐specified in our protocol.

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.
