Propofol versus thiopental sodium for the treatment of refractory status epilepticus

Protocol

Differences between protocol and review

The primary outcome in our protocol 'total control of seizures' is now defined as total control of seizures after the first course of the study drug.

By 'mortality' we now mean only in‐hospital mortality of the patients receiving study drugs. It does not include deaths after patients have been discharged from hospital.

A Google Scholar database search has not been conducted and so it has been removed from the list.

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 basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. 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 Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Single blinded study: we downgraded one level for risk of bias
2 Wide confidence intervals crossing the line of "no effect" were noted; we downgraded one level for imprecision
