In 2019 we invented the 2-week systematic review (2weekSR) methodology, to complete full, Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant systematic reviews in approximately 2 weeks. Since then we have continued to develop and adapt the 2weekSR methodology for completing larger and more complex systematic reviews, including less experienced or inexperienced team members.
For ten 2weekSRs, we collected data on (1) systematic review characteristics; (2) systematic review teams; and (3) time to completion and publication. We have also continued to develop new tools and integrate them into the 2weekSR processes.
The 10 2weekSRs addressed intervention, prevalence, and utilization questions, and included a mix of randomized and observational studies. Reviews involved screening from 458 to 5,471 references, and included between 5 and 81 studies. The median team size was 6. Most reviews (7/10) included team members with limited systematic review experience; three included team members with no prior experience. Reviews required a median of 11 workdays (range: 5-20) and 17 calendar days (range: 5-84) to complete; time from journal submission to publication ranged from 99 to 260 days.
The 2weekSR methodology scales with review size and complexity, offering a considerable time-saving over traditionally conducted systematic reviews without relying on methodological shortcuts associated with "rapid reviews."
2019 年，我们发明了 2 周系统综述（2weekSR）方法，旨在大约 2 周内完成完整的、符合系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses，PRISMA）的系统综述。此后，我们继续开发和改进 2weekSR 方法，以完成更大、更复杂的系统综述，包括经验较少或没有经验的团队成员。
对于十项 2weekSR，我们收集了（1）系统综述特征；（2）系统综述团队；以及（3）完成和发表的时间的数据。我们还继续开发新工具并将其整合到 2weekSR 流程中。
这十项 2weekSR 涉及干预、流行率和利用问题，包括随机和观察性研究的混合。综述涉及从 458 至 5471 篇参考文献的筛选，并包括 5 至 81 项研究。团队规模中位数为 6。大多数综述（7/10）包括系统综述经验有限的团队成员；有三个综述包括没有先前经验的团队成员。综述需要中位数为 11 个工作日（范围：5-20）和 17 个日历日（范围：5-84）完成；从提交期刊到发表的时间范围为 99 至 260 天。
2weekSR 方法可以根据综述的规模和复杂性进行扩展，与依赖于与“快速综述”相关的方法学捷径相比，为传统进行的系统综述节省了大量时间。
