Date	Event	Description
31 March 2016	New citation required but conclusions have not changed	Authors' conclusions are not changed with the inclusion of additional studies.
15 March 2016	New search has been performed	This review was updated in 2016. An additional 20 studies were accepted for inclusion for a total of 74 studies. The total number of infants included in the review is now 7049. We converted 95% confidence intervals to standard deviations. We performed the comparisons based on the different concentrations of sucrose used and on the different control interventions. This resulted in a large number of comparisons and RevMan‐analyses. Most comparisons and outcomes included a limited number of studies and infants. Although we included a total of 37 comparisons, we include 'Summary of findings' tables for primary outcomes (validated pain scales) and GRADE assessments based on the GRADE assessment tables that are available in RevMan.
17 February 2012	New citation required but conclusions have not changed	For the purpose of the current updated review, the inclusion criteria were expanded to include all minor painful procedures (rather than heel lance and venipuncture only). The updated review criteria included studies that assessed the efficacy of repeated doses of sucrose.
17 February 2012	New search has been performed	This updates the review "Sucrose for analgesia in newborn infants undergoing painful procedures" published in The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2010 (Stevens 2010). Thirteen new studies were added in the current update.
