Differences between protocol and review

We would like to acknowledge some differences between the protocol and review:

  • Primary and secondary outcomes: The primary and secondary outcomes were not well defined in the protocol. The primary outcome should have been defined as the proportion of patients who failed to enter clinical remission as defined by the included studies. The secondary efficacy outcomes should have been defined in a similar manner. The secondary outcome 'adverse events' was added after the protocol was published.

  • GRADE was added to the methods section. Please see MECIR C76.

  • We added a section on 'Unit of analysis issues' to the Methods section to explain how we would deal with these issues. This was not predefined in the protocol.

  • We added a section on 'Assessment of reporting biases' to the Methods section to explain how we would deal with issue for future updates of this review.This was not predefined in the protocol.

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.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

**Subject numbers are higher than those reported for the efficacy analyses of the individual studies due to the 200 mg, i.v. experimental group discontinuing enrolment during the induction phase due to poor patient enrolment (Panaccione, 2010). These patients were not included in the efficacy analyses, but were included in the safety analyses.
CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Control group risk estimates come from control arm of meta‐analysis, based on included trials
2 Downgraded one level due to sparse data (57 events)
3 Downgraded on level because the 95% CI around the effect estimate includes both benefit and no effect
4 Downgraded one level due to sparse data (196 events)

**Subject numbers are higher than those reported for the efficacy analyses of the individual studies due to the omission of efficacy results for subjects receiving subcutaneous placebo and 90 mg ustekinumab, as well as subjects receiving 90mg s.c. and 4.5 mg/kg of ustekinumab in the open‐label arm of the study by Sandborn (2008). The results of these subjects were included in the safety analyses.
