Details of the Search Process
A research Librarian, developed a list of databases to be searched and tested database specific search strategies in collaboration with the research team. Additional references were found by hand-searching the bibliographies of review articles and included studies; letters to the editor and commentaries; and Technical Expert Panel input.
All citations were imported into Thomson Reuters’ EndNote X3 (citation management) and then Distiller Systematic Review Software (screening of abstracts and full text, kappa calculation, data extraction, exclusion reports, and table construction).
Search Strategy Development Notes
A combination of controlled vocabulary and keywords were employed in the search strategies, with age, study methodology, and date (2002-) limits applied. No language limit was used. Details of the search strategies are given in Appendix A.

Scientific Information Packets (SIPs)
The Effective Health Care Program Scientific Resource Center requested information about published and unpublished Phase II and above clinical studies, post-marketing studies, and observational studies from pharmaceutical companies. The SIP request deadline had not yet passed when this draft report was written, the final report will be updated with all relevant information derived from SIP submissions.
