  4. What is a systematic review? “A systematic review is a critical assessment and evaluation of all research studies that address a particular clinical issue. The researchers use an organized method of locating, assembling, and evaluating a body of literature on a particular topic using a set of specific criteria. A systematic review typically includes a description of the findings of the collection of research studies. The systematic review may also include a quantitative pooling of data, called a meta-analysis.” -U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

  5. What is a systematic review? “A systematic review uses transparent procedures to find, evaluate, and synthesize the results of relevant research. Procedures are explicitly defined in advance in order to ensure that the exercise is transparent and can be replicated. This practice is also designed to minimize bias.” -The Campbell Collaboration

  6. A Systematic Review… • …sums up the best available research on a specific question by synthesizing the results of multiple studies • …must be peer-reviewed • …needs to screen included studies for quality so that the individual findings can be successfully combined • …must have the following: • clear inclusion and exclusion criteria • detailed search strategy • systematic coding and analysis of the included studies • Meta-analysis (where possible)
