PICO
A research question framework can help structure your systematic review question. PICO/T is an acronym which stands for. Each PICO includes at least a P, I, and an O, and some include a C or a T. Below are some sample PICO/T questions to help you use the framework to your advantage. For an intervention/therapy.
Cochrane Library About PICO
There are three different sorts of PICOs within Cochrane Reviews. PICO stands for four different potential components of a health question used in Cochrane Review research: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome. These components give you the specific who, what, when, where and how, of an evidence-based health-care ...

The chosen subset of comparisons should address the most important clinical and research questions. For example, if an established intervention (or dose of an intervention) is used in practice, then the synthesis would ideally compare novel ...

The PICO model is also frequently used as a tool for structuring clinical research questions in connection with evidence syntheses (e.g., systematic reviews). The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions specifies using PICO as a model for developing a review question, thus ensuring that the relevant components of the question ...
Formulate Research Question Using PICO
A systematic review aims to answer a specific research (clinical) question. A well-formulated question will guide many aspects of the review process, including determining eligibility criteria, searching for studies, collecting data from included studies, and presenting findings (Cochrane Handbook, Sec. 5.1.1).To define a researchable question, the most commonly used structure is PICO, which ...
Defining your review question
Research topic vs review question. A research topic is the area of study you are researching, and the review question is the straightforward, focused question that your systematic review will attempt to answer.. Developing a suitable review question from a research topic can take some time. You should: perform some scoping searches; use a framework such as PICO
Systematic reviews: Formulate your question
Defining the question. Defining the research question and developing a protocol are the essential first steps in your systematic review. The success of your systematic review depends on a clear and focused question, so take the time to get it right. A framework may help you to identify the key concepts in your research question and to organise ...
Formulate a specific question
Systematic reviews require focused clinical questions. PICO is a useful tool for formulating such questions. For information on PICO and other frameworks please see our tutorial below. The PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) framework is commonly used to develop focused clinical questions for quantitative systematic reviews.

A technique often used in research for formulating a clinical research question is the PICO model. Slightly different versions of this concept are used to search for quantitative and qualitative reviews. ... guidelines on conducting systematic reviews of existing research on the effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and harms of different ...
LibGuides: Systematic Reviews: The PICO Framework
Use the PICO framework to translate the research question into search concepts that can be applied in a structured search strategy. In general, you should not use all parts of the PICO question in the search. The key focus of the search would be generally on the P (Population / Patient / Problem) and the I (Intervention), and sometimes C ...
PICO framework for framing systematic review research questions
The PICO method for framing systematic review study questions is explained in this article. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) involves incorporating professional practice, the best available scientific data, and the patient's principles and interests into clinical decision-making. The steps in practicing EBM are based on the patient.

Question frameworks (e.g PICO)
Your systematic review or systematic literature review will be defined by your research question. A well formulated question will help: Frame your entire research process. Determine the scope of your review. Provide a focus for your searches. Help you identify key concepts. Guide the selection of your papers.
BeckerGuides: Systematic Review Guide: PICO format
On the Systematic Review Request form you will be asked to outline your research question in PICO format. This allows us to easily understand the main concepts of your research question.

Formulating research questions for evidence-based studies
Formulating a research question is a crucial step in directing any scientific study. The classical evidence-based approach to formulating a question uses the PICO framework, consisting of population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. ...

A step by step guide for conducting a systematic review and meta
PICO is usually used for systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trial study. For the observational study (without intervention or comparator), in many tropical and epidemiological questions, it is usually enough to use P (Patient) and O (outcome) only to formulate a research question.
Using the full PICO model as a search tool for systematic reviews
1. Introduction. The literature search forms the underlying basis of systematic reviews and thus the quality of the literature search is of crucial importance to the overall quality of the systematic review [1].The use of the four-part PICO model to facilitate searching for a precise answer is recommended [2] stating that a clinical question must be focused and well-articulated for all four ...
Using the full PICO model as a search tool for systematic reviews
Objectives: The use of the four-part PICO model to facilitate search strategy development for a precise answer is recommended for structuring searches for systematic reviews. Existing guidelines generally recommend that a search strategy should include the population, intervention(s), and types of study design.
Formulating a researchable question: A critical step for facilitating
The framework presented in this paper can be helpful for a clinician to formulate a question and search for an answer and for a researcher to develop a new research project. The classical approach is to identify a research question followed by a thorough literature search keeping in mind the PICO and FINER criteria.
