Protocol

Differences between protocol and review

We changed the term 'left ventricular systolic dysfunction' to 'heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)'.

We included all‐cause mortality as a primary outcome.

We modified the primary outcome of all‐cause or heart failure related event free survival to all‐cause event‐free survival.

We modified the secondary outcome of 'achieved dose as a percentage of target dose' to 'proportion reaching target dose of medications'.

We have reworded the Types of studies section to accurately reflect with what the intervention was compared.

We did not search CINAHL as planned due to access problems.

We did not create funnel plots due to the low number of included studies.

We included a 'Summary of findings' table in the review.

We have listed all‐cause hospital admissions and heart failure‐related hospital admissions as separate outcomes.

We did not undertake a subgroup analysis of the proportion of participants receiving optimal dose of ACEIs and ARBs due to a lack of studies reporting on this outcome.

We did not undertake a subgroup analysis of patients managed by a heart failure nurse but titration of medications by other health professionals as there were no RCTS investigating this intervention.

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 is based on the observed incidence across the pooled control groups. 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.

1,2 I = 68% and P = 0.03 with a high Chi2 in relation to degrees of freedom.
2Two studies had a total sample size of < 25 resulting in wide confidence intervals.
3At least two studies with a high risk of reporting bias.
