Differences between protocol and review

The title of this review in its original protocol: "Withdrawal of drug therapy for patients with quiescent Crohn's disease", was changed to:"Withdrawal of immunosuppressant or biologic therapy for patients with quiescent Crohn's disease". A description of the factors assessed by the NOS was added to the methods section. We also decided to perform subgroup analyses based on study design (RCTs versus observational studies) as detailed in the most current version of the methods section. The subgroup analysis for pediatric studies was removed because the study participants included were defined as adults (> 18 years). Finally, a random‐effects model and not a fixed‐effect model was used for analyzing the data.

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 risk in the intervention group (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; OR: Odds ratio;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate certainty: We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low certainty: Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low certainty: We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

1 Downgraded one level due to high risk of bias for blinding in one study and unclear risk of bias in three studies in the pooled analysis

2 Downgraded one level due to sparse data

3 Downgraded one level due to unclear risk of bias in the two studies in the pooled analysis

4 Downgraded two levels due to very sparse data
