Systematic Reviews and Clinical Practice Guidelines <\/p>\n
Systematic Review<\/p>\n
Systematic review is the summation and assessment of research studies found in the literature based on a clearly focused question that uses systematic and explicit methods to identify, select, critically appraise, and analyze relevant data from the selected studies to summarize the findings in a focused area. <\/p>\n
Meta-Analysis<\/p>\n
A review of studies using statistical methods <\/p>\n
Statistically analyzes and integrates the results of many studies<\/p>\n
Provides level I evidence, the highest level of evidence<\/p>\n
Integrative Review<\/p>\n
Critically appraises the literature in an area, but without a statistical analysis<\/p>\n
Broadest category of review<\/p>\n
Systematic Review<\/p>\n
Summary of the quantitative research literature that used similar designs based on a focused clinical question <\/p>\n
Brings together all the studies concerning a focused clinical question and, using rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, assesses the strength and quality of the evidence provided by the chosen studies in relation to:<\/p>\n
Sampling issues<\/p>\n
Internal validity (bias) threats<\/p>\n
External validity<\/p>\n
Data analysis<\/p>\n
EFFECT OF SIZE<\/p>\n
Effect sizes are calculated using the difference in the averages scores between the intervention and control groups from each study.<\/p>\n
Thus, the effect size is an estimate of how large of a difference there is between intervention and control groups in the summarized studies.<\/p>\n
Cochrane Collaboration<\/p>\n
Largest repository of meta-analyses<\/p>\n
Cochrane Collaboration is an international organization that prepares and maintains a body of systematic reviews that focus on health care interventions.<\/p>\n
Clinical Practice Guidelines<\/p>\n
Systematically developed statements or recommendations that link research and practice and serve as a guide for practitioners.<\/p>\n
Guidelines are developed by professional organizations, government agencies, institutions, or convened expert panels. <\/p>\n
Guidelines provide clinicians with an algorithm for clinical management, or decision making for specific diseases. <\/p>\n
Evidence-based practice guidelines are developed using a scientific process. <\/p>\n
Expert-based guidelines: agreement of a group of nationally known experts in the field who meet and solely use opinions of experts along with whatever research evidence is developed to date<\/p>\n
Appraising the Evidence: Systematic Reviews and Clinical Guidelines<\/p>\n
Does the PICO question used as the basis of the review match the studies included in the review? <\/p>\n
Are the review methods clearly stated and comprehensive?<\/p>\n
Are the dates of the review\u2019s inclusion clear and relevant to the area reviewed?<\/p>\n
Are the inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies in the review clear and comprehensive?<\/p>\n
What criteria were used to assess each of the studies in the review for quality and scientific merit?<\/p>\n
If studies were analyzed individually were the data clear?<\/p>\n
Were the methods of study combination clear and appropriate?<\/p>\n
If the studies were reviewed collectively, how large was the effect?<\/p>\n
Are the clinical conclusions drawn from the studies relevant and supported by the review? <\/p>\n
Is the date of publication or release current?<\/p>\n
Are the authors of the guideline clear and appropriate to the guideline?<\/p>\n
Is there a clinical problem and purpose clear in terms of what the guideline covers and patient groups for which it was designed?<\/p>\n
What types of evidence (research, nonresearched) were used in formulating the guideline and were they appropriate to the topic?<\/p>\n
Is there a description of the methods used to grade the evidence?<\/p>\n
Were the search terms and retrieval methods used to acquire research and non-research evidence used in the guideline clear and relevant?<\/p>\n
Is the guideline well referenced and comprehensive? <\/p>\n
Are the recommendations in the guideline sourced according to the level of evidence for its basis?<\/p>\n
Has the guideline been reviewed by experts in the area? <\/p>\n
Who funded the guideline development?<\/p>\n
