Prophylactic vitamin K for the prevention of vitamin K deficiency bleeding in preterm neonates

Protocol

Stephanie Ardell, Martin Offringa, Roger Soll

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD008342

Differences between protocol and review

  • We added dosage of vitamin K as a main comparison;

  • we amended the 'Types of participants' from preterm infants of gestational age < 34 weeks to preterm infants of gestational age < 37 weeks;

  • the description of 'Types of interventions' was refined to better define vitamin K prophylaxis as administered prior to evidence of VKDB;

  • the following secondary outcomes were added post hoc:

    • vitamin K1 2,3‐epoxide;

    • necrotizing enterocolitis;

    • sepsis;

    • mortality;

    • neurodevelopmental status at 18 to 24 months;

  • we did not separately search for conference abstracts as suggested in the protocol, as these abstracts are now included in CENTRAL;

  • we updated the 'Risk of bias' criteria to align with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins 2011);

  • we added the quality of evidence assessment following the GRADE approach and reported these assessments in the 'Summary of findings' tables.

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).

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% CI) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
Abbreviations: CI: confidence interval; intravenous: IV; intramuscular: IM; RR: risk ratio; OR: odds ratio.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1We downgraded by two levels due to the small sample size from one included trial.
