Contributions of authors

This review was originally conceived by Sarah Sampler, who co‐authored the original protocol with PL ‐ although she took no part in the production of this review.
DD and PL completed the design for the review and published the updated protocol.
DD co‐ordinated the efforts of the authors, organised retrieval of papers, wrote to authors for additional information.
The review authors (AV, PL, GL, JM and DD) reviewed citations, extracted information and participated in discussions concerning eligibility, risks, etc. DD co‐ordinated both allocation/analysis of the data and preparation of the manuscript.
PP provided statistical advice.
All review authors assisted with the interpretation of the data and participated in review of the manuscript.

Differences between protocol and review

The background section has been re‐written in parts. In particular, it now contains a section on adverse events that was not included in the protocol as we felt we had not adequately addressed this question.

The analysis was undertaken in accordance with the protocol, as described in this manuscript, with two differences:

  • we incorporated an additional outcome measure (clinically significant reduction in crying time). While change in daily hours of crying had been anticipated in the protocol, we had not considered the change might be measured as a dichotomous outcome;

  • we presented the results as ORs rather than RRs for dichotomous variables as we thought this was more appropriate when reporting improvements in symptoms.

PICO

Population
Intervention
Comparison
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).
