Overview
A systematic review is a review of literature that adopts explicit and standardised methods for the qualitative and quantitative synthesis of evidence to minimise potential biases and improve the trustworthiness of its findings.
The methodology has been widely adopted, e.g. by the Cochrane Collaboration, for summarising best available evidence to support health care decision-making (including health technology assessment) and to guide future research.
Key facts
The Systematic Reviews and Evidence Synthesis made easy for Impactful Publication course from University of Birmingham aims to provide you with an understanding of contemporaneous methods used in systematic reviewing and evidence synthesis and the rationale behind these methods.
It will also equip you with the fundamental skills required to carry out a systematic review relating to a range of health care related questions (for example, effectiveness, diagnostic accuracy and qualitative research questions).
Programme Structure
This module covers the key methodological stages of undertaking a systematic review, namely how to:
- Formulate a structured review question
- Search for most relevant and reliable literature
- Critically appraise and assess the risk of bias of different types of studies (e.g. randomised controlled trials, observational studies)
- Synthesise the identified evidence either qualitatively (narratively) or by meta-analysis
