Contributions of authors

Dr Garrison drafted both the protocol and the full review and is the guarantor of the review. All authors performed critical review and approved the final text. Drs Garrison, McCracken, Korownyk and Allan searched for and identified studies for inclusion. Drs Korownyk and Kolber assessed studies for bias and extracted data. Dr Heran entered data and studies into Review Manager 5 and performed the analyses. Dr Allan verified the data extraction and entry into Review Manager 5.

Differences between protocol and review

In the original protocol we stated that we would examine outcomes at two years and, if some studies did not extend that far, at one year. Only one of our studies reported two‐year outcomes. Rather than interpolating results from these other studies to the two‐year time frame, we chose instead to report outcomes using the mean period of observation from each analysis (ranging from 2.4 to 2.6 years). We made this revision upon recognizing it to be the standard approach in other Cochrane Reviews.

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 basis for the assumed risk is provided in footnote below. The corresponding risk (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).
BP: blood pressure; CI: confidence interval; RR: risk 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 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

1Rationale for our choice of assumed risk: the risk of cardiovascular events in a hypertensive general population varies considerably across countries (Finegold 2013). With no reason to favour one country over another we have opted to use (now and for future updates) an assumed risk, which is the average across studies included in this review.
2Downgraded due to high risk of bias.
3Downgraded due to heterogeneity and imprecision.
