Differences between protocol and review

Compared to the protocol originally describing the methods for the review, when updating the review we performed a more comprehensive assessment of bias, focusing on the following methodological issues and risk of bias: random sequence generation (selection bias); allocation concealment (selection bias); blinding (performance bias and detection bias); blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias); blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias); incomplete outcome data (attrition bias); and selective reporting (reporting bias).

Outcome

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).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.
