Appendix 1. Previous search

We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2009, Issue 3), which contains the Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) Group's Specialised Register; MEDLINE (1966 to August Week 1, 2009); EMBASE (1974 to August 2009); CBM (1978 to August 2009); the National Research Register (August 2009); and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) (1929 to August 2009).

We used the following search terms in MEDLINE in conjunction with the Cochrane Highly Sensitive Search Strategy for identifying RCTs in MEDLINE (Lefebvre 2008) for identification of randomised clinical trials. We modified these terms as appropriate for other databases.
