Contributions of authors

For the original review: JB, SD, and RAM carried out searching, data extraction, and analysis, including assessment of study quality. HJM helped with analysis and acted as arbitrator. All review authors contributed to the writing of the protocol and review.

For this update: HG and SD carried out searching, data extraction, and analysis, including assessment of risk of bias and quality of the evidence. RAM acted as arbitrator; he did not participate in searching, or data extraction, analysis, assessment of risk of bias and quality of the evidence for the included studies in which he was an author. All authors contributed to the writing of the review.

Differences between protocol and review

We changed the title to 'ketoprofen or dexketoprofen' to clarify that the interventions were not taken together.

This review included updated 'Risk of bias' and GRADE assessments, and 'Summary of findings' tables. We have not included sensitivity analyses by size and Oxford Quality Score.

Notes

A new search within two years is not likely to identify any potentially relevant studies likely to change the conclusions. Therefore, this review has now been stabilised following discussion with the authors and editors. The review will be re‐assessed for updating in four years. If appropriate, we will update the review before this date if new evidence likely to change the conclusions is published, or if standards change substantially which necessitate major revisions.

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).

  • High: this research provides a very good indication of the likely effect. The likelihood that the effect will be substantially differenta is low.

  • Moderate: this research provides a good indication of the likely effect. The likelihood that the effect will be substantially differenta is moderate.

  • Low: this research provides some indication of the likely effect. However, the likelihood that it will be substantially differenta is high.

  • Very low: this research does not provide a reliable indication of the likely effect. The likelihood that the effect will be substantially differenta is very high.

a Substantially different: a large enough difference that it might affect a decision.
