Transparent reporting of rapid reviews enables appropriate use of research findings and dissemination strategies can strengthen uptake and impact for the targeted knowledge users, including policy-makers and health system managers. The aim of this literature review was to understand reporting and dissemination approaches for rapid reviews and provide an overview in the context of health policy and systems research.
A literature review and descriptive summary of the reporting and disseminating approaches for rapid reviews was conducted, focusing on available guidance and methods, considerations for engagement with knowledge users, and optimizing dissemination. MEDLINE, PubMed, Google scholar, as well as relevant websites and reference lists were searched from January 2017 to March 2021 to identify the relevant literature with no language restrictions. Content was abstracted and charted.
The literature review found limited guidance specific to rapid reviews. Building on the barriers and facilitators to systematic review use, we provide practical recommendations on different approaches and methods for reporting and disseminating expedited knowledge synthesis considering the needs of health policy and systems knowledge users. Reporting should balance comprehensive accounting of the research process and findings with what is "good enough" or sufficient to meet the requirements of the knowledge users, while considering the time and resources available to conduct a review. Typical approaches may be used when planning the dissemination of rapid review findings; such as peer-reviewed publications or symposia and clear and ongoing engagement with knowledge users in crafting the messages is essential so they are appropriately tailored to the target audience. Consideration should be given to providing different products for different audiences. Dissemination measures and bibliometrics are also useful to gauge impact and reach.
Limited guidance specific to the reporting and dissemination of rapid reviews is available. Although approaches to expedited synthesis for health policy and systems research vary, considerations for the reporting and dissemination of findings are pertinent to all.
透明报告快速审查可使研究结果得到适当利用，传播策略可以加强目标知识用户（包括决策者和卫生系统管理者）对研究结果的采用和影响。本文献综述旨在了解快速审查的报告和传播方法，并在卫生政策和系统研究背景下进行概述。
对快速审查的报告和传播方法进行了文献回顾和描述性总结，重点关注现有指南和方法、与知识用户互动的考虑因素以及传播优化。从 2017 年 1 月至 2021 年 3 月，在 MEDLINE、PubMed、Google Scholar 以及相关网站和参考文献列表中搜索了无语言限制的相关文献，对内容进行了提取和图表绘制。
文献综述发现，针对快速审查的具体指导有限。在系统综述使用的障碍和促进因素的基础上，我们提供了针对不同方法和报告和传播加速知识综合的实用建议，考虑了卫生政策和系统知识用户的需求。报告应在综合研究过程和结果的基础上，平衡全面性和“足够好”或足以满足知识用户要求的程度，同时考虑进行审查的可用时间和资源。在规划快速审查结果的传播时，可以使用典型方法；例如，同行评审出版物或专题讨论会，以及在制定信息时与知识用户的明确和持续互动是至关重要的，以便信息能够针对目标受众进行适当调整。应考虑为不同受众提供不同的产品。传播措施和文献计量学也可用于衡量影响和覆盖面。
针对快速审查的报告和传播的具体指导有限。尽管针对卫生政策和系统研究的快速综合方法有所不同，但报告和传播结果的考虑因素与所有方法都相关。
