Differences between protocol and review

As the result of difficulty gaining access, the following resources were not searched.

  • Cochrane Wounds Group Specialised Register BNI (British Nursing Index and Archive).

  • Sciverse.

  • Zetoc.

As the journals listed for handsearching are currently indexed in databases searched electronically, we deemed handsearching to be redundant and we did not perform a handsearch.

Two additional resources were searched: ISI Web of Science was chosen as a source of conference abstracts, and clinicaltrials.gov was searched.

Given the comprehensive and inclusive nature of the search strategies listed in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2, and the large number of references retrieved (2464), we believe that this search was comprehensive.

The primary outcomes studied have been reordered to reflect the increasing importance of patient‐reported outcomes among clinical studies since the time the protocol was first written.

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.
