Intervention Any intervention (pharmacological or non-pharmacological) aimed to treat/prevent PGP.
Comparator Any comparator intervention or control.
Outcome Any outcome measured to assess/monitor PGP.
Study design Intervention studies (randomised or non-randomised), systematic reviews of interventions.
