Educational interventions for patients in the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration

Protocol

Differences between protocol and review

In this updated review, we have excluded studies in which the intervention consisted of multiple combined strategies for the prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, where patient education was not the main comparator with the control intervention (Litzelman 1993). We have developed and published a further Cochrane review that provides a more comprehensive overview of the effects of such integrated prevention strategies (complex interventions) (Dorresteijn 2010a). In addition, we have redefined the previously used primary outcome 'infection' into the secondary outcome 'fungal infection'. Furthermore, while the Amsterdam‐Maastricht consensus list was used to score risk of bias in previous versions of this review (van Tulder 1997), we have adopted The Cochrane Collaboration's recommended tool for assessing risk of bias in this update (Higgins 2011).

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).
