Abstract:
Background: While the PRISMA 2020 statement is intended to guide the reporting of original systematic reviews, updated systematic reviews, and living systematic reviews (LSRs), its explanation and elaboration document notes that additional considerations for updated systematic reviews and LSRs may need to be addressed. This paper reports the protocol for developing an extension of the PRISMA 2020 statement for LSRs. Methods: We will follow the EQUATOR Network\'s guidance for developing health research reporting guidelines. We will review the literature to identify possible items of the PRISMA 2020 checklist that need modification, as well as new items that need to be added. Then, we will survey representatives of different stakeholder groups for their views on the proposed modifications of the PRISMA 2020 checklist. We will summarize, present, and discuss the results of the survey in an online meeting, aiming to reach consensus on the content of the LSR extension. We will then draft the checklist, explanation and elaboration for each item, and flow diagram for the PRISMA 2020 extension. Then, we will share these initial documents with stakeholder representatives for final feedback and approval. Discussion: We anticipate that the PRISMA 2020 extension for LSRs will benefit LSR authors, editors, and peer reviewers of LSRs, as well as different users of LSRs, including guideline developers, policy makers, healthcare providers, patients, and other stakeholders.
摘要:
背景:虽然PRISMA2020声明旨在指导原始系统评价的报告,更新的系统评价,和实时系统评价(LSR),其解释和阐述文件指出,可能需要解决更新的系统审查和LSR的其他考虑因素。本文报告了为LSR开发PRISMA2020声明扩展的协议。方法:我们将遵循EQUATOR网络的指导制定健康研究报告指南。我们将回顾文献,以确定PRISMA2020清单中需要修改的可能项目,以及需要添加的新项目。然后,我们将调查不同利益相关方团体的代表,了解他们对PRISMA2020清单拟议修改的意见。我们将总结,present,并在网上会议上讨论调查结果,旨在就LSR扩展的内容达成共识。然后我们将起草清单,每个项目的解释和阐述,和PRISMA2020扩展的流程图。然后,我们将与利益相关者代表分享这些初始文件,以获得最终反馈和批准。讨论:我们预计针对LSR的PRISMA2020扩展将使LSR作者受益,编辑,和LSR的同行评审员,以及LSR的不同用户,包括指南开发人员,政策制定者,医疗保健提供者,病人,和其他利益相关者。
