Differences between protocol and review

The original protocol stated "We will judge the study quality using a validated critical appraisal checklist developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute and based on the work of The Cochrane Collaboration and the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (Figure 2). This checklist assesses selection, allocation, treatment, and attrition biases". Due to changes in the Cochrane requirements, we have used the Cochrane risk of bias assessment instead.

We had originally planned to search the website http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/nics/asp/index.asp, however this no longer exists and http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/nics/index.htm was searched instead.

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.
