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; Std: standardised

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

1Downgraded 1 level for risk of bias due to study limitations, in particular generation of allocation sequence, allocation concealment, and incomplete outcome data.
2.Downgraded 1 level for imprecision as there were relatively few events.
3 Downgraded 1 level for inconsistency (I2 = 96%) although all studies favoured fibrin glue.
