Systematic reviews are difficult to keep up to date, but failure to do so leads to a decay in review currency, accuracy, and utility. We are developing a novel approach to systematic review updating termed "Living systematic review" (LSR): systematic reviews that are continually updated, incorporating relevant new evidence as it becomes available. LSRs may be particularly important in fields where research evidence is emerging rapidly, current evidence is uncertain, and new research may change policy or practice decisions. We hypothesize that a continual approach to updating will achieve greater currency and validity, and increase the benefits to end users, with feasible resource requirements over time.
系统评价很难保持最新,但如果不这样做,就会导致评价的时效性、准确性和实用性下降。我们正在开发一种新的系统评价更新方法,称为“实时系统评价”(LSR):不断更新的系统评价,将新出现的相关证据纳入其中。LSR 在研究证据快速出现、现有证据不确定、新研究可能改变政策或实践决策的领域可能特别重要。我们假设,持续的更新方法将提高时效性和有效性,并随着时间的推移,以可行的资源需求,增加对最终用户的益处。
