Differences between protocol and review

We have improved the wording of the title of the review from "Monotherapy versus combination therapy used as first‐line therapy for primary hypertension" to "First‐line combination therapy versus first‐line monotherapy for primary hypertension".

We have corrected the unit of analysis from 'individual trials' to 'individual participants'.

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 basis for the assumed is the mean monotherapy group risk across studies. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the combination 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 certainty: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate certainty: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low certainty: 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 certainty: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 All data come from subgroups of participants not predefined in the original studies. Outcomes of our review were not the primary outcome in any included trial.
2 Two trials included only people with type 2 diabetes, whereas the other excluded participants treated with drugs for diabetes, hypocholesterolaemia or cardiovascular disease. So none of them was fully representative of the general hypertensive population.
3 There were very few events and confidence intervals were extremely wide.
4 There were no events for this outcome.
5 Confidence intervals were wide and included both appreciable harm and appreciable benefit.
