A rapid review is a form of evidence synthesis considered a resource-efficient alternative to the conventional systematic review. Despite a dramatic rise in the number of rapid reviews commissioned and conducted in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, published evidence on the optimal methods of planning, doing, and sharing the results of these reviews is lacking. The Priority III study aimed to identify the top 10 unanswered questions on rapid review methodology to be addressed by future research.
A modified James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership approach was adopted. This approach used two online surveys and a virtual prioritization workshop with patients and the public, reviewers, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and funders to identify and prioritize unanswered questions.
Patients and the public, researchers, reviewers, clinicians, policymakers, and funders identified and prioritized the top 10 unanswered research questions about rapid review methodology. Priorities were identified throughout the entire review process, from stakeholder involvement and formulating the question, to the methods of a systematic review that are appropriate to use, through to the dissemination of results.
The results of the Priority III study will inform the future research agenda on rapid review methodology. We hope this will enhance the quality of evidence produced by rapid reviews, which will ultimately inform decision-making in the context of healthcare.
快速综述是一种证据综合形式，被认为是对传统系统综述的一种资源高效替代方法。尽管针对 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行委托和进行的快速综述数量急剧增加，但关于规划、执行和分享这些综述结果的最佳方法的已发表证据仍然缺乏。第三优先级研究旨在确定未来研究需要解决的关于快速综述方法学的十大未回答问题。
采用了改良的詹姆斯林德联盟优先事项设置伙伴关系方法。该方法使用了两次在线调查和一次虚拟优先级制定研讨会，邀请患者和公众、评论者、研究人员、临床医生、政策制定者和资助者参与，以确定和确定未回答的问题的优先级。
患者和公众、研究人员、评论者、临床医生、政策制定者和资助者确定并确定了关于快速综述方法学的十大未回答的研究问题。优先级贯穿整个审查过程，从利益相关者的参与和制定问题，到使用适当的系统审查方法，再到结果的传播。
第三优先级研究的结果将为快速综述方法学的未来研究议程提供信息。我们希望这将提高快速综述所产生证据的质量，从而最终为医疗保健背景下的决策提供信息。
