Steps for systematic Review!
🔍 Unlocking Healthcare Insights: Evidence Synthesis Protocol What are the first steps for developing a systematic review? Developing a systematic review begins with crafting a detailed protocol - a blueprint that outlines the entire research process. Protocols are fundamental in evidence synthesis methodology because they establish clear research questions, eligibility criteria, and methods for data collection and analysis. By setting these criteria upfront, protocols ensure transparency, reduce bias, and enhance the reproducibility of systematic reviews. ➡ Sometimes protocols are not finished due to ongoing research and evolving methodologies.
