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.

*The assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is derived from data within dialysis registries for all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality and the reported event rate in the available study for nonfatal cardiovascular events (CONTRAST (Dutch) Study 2005). The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk Ratio

GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) Working Group grades of evidence (Guyatt 2011).
Low quality: Indicates that our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially difference from the estimated effect.
Very low quality: Indicated that we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimated effect.
