An introduction to systematic reviewing

Category: Methods

Time period:
-

Lecture(s):
ECTS: 1 + 1 optional

Evidence-based decision-making requires a systematic review and appraisal of the currently available evidence. Systematic reviews as part of grant applications, clinical trial publications in high-impact journals, and ethical approvals do not just improve the chances of acceptance but are often a pre-requisite.

This course offers a theoretical introduction to literature search methods, systematic review processes, and the conduct and interpretation of meta-analyses as well as practical hands-on training using a real-world example. We focus on methods for systematic reviews and meta-analysis of RCTs. Microsoft Word, Excel, and EndNote will be used.
