Contributions of authors

Judith Bliss wrote the original protocol, initiated the review with Lorna Gibson and reviewed the review.

Lorna Gibson worked with the Cochrane Breast Group to identify the initial list of references; she then worked through the list to identify eligible trials. Lorna carried out the first independent data extraction from the eligible trials and was a main contributor to the review and analysis, and the update.

Claire Dawson carried out a second independent extraction of data from the eligible trials and contributed to the original review.

David Lawrence carried out an independent check of the data extraction for accuracy and consistency and was a main contributor to the original review analysis, and the update.

Differences between protocol and review

Many of the data required to carry out analyses of prospectively identified subgroups, as set out in the review protocol, were not available. We could not, therefore, identify specific subgroups of women who may benefit from AI use.

Notes

This updated review includes the following additional seven trials to the 30 in the original publication: Chia 2008; Gale 1994; Garcia‐Giralt 1992; Goss 2007; Lundgren 1989; Samonis 1994. There were also two papers by Mourisden and colleagues (Mourisden 2004; Mourisden 2007) which contributed follow‐up information.

The update demonstrated a survival benefit of 10% with the use of AIs for the treatment of advanced (metastatic) breast cancer, compared to 11% in the original review.

PICO

Population

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).
