Differences between protocol and review

The AgeLine database could not be accessed despite repeated attempts, and so it was not included in the search. No further alterations were made to the protocol. The following methods from the protocol could not be executed in this review, since no studies met the eligibility criteria.

  • Data extraction and management.

  • Assessment of risk of bias in included studies.

  • Measures of treatment effect.

  • Unit of analysis issues.

  • Dealing with missing data.

  • Assessment of heterogeneity.

  • Assessment of reporting bias.

  • Data synthesis.

  • Subgroup analysis and investigation of heterogeneity.

  • Sensitivity analysis.

Some textual edits have been made to the Background section and an additional reference was included, to provide the most recent numbers on the number of people with dementia worldwide. These edits have not altered the content of the Background section.

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.
