Complex Reviews – a new accredited short course
24–28 July 2017 in Oxford
Developing a better understanding of the broader forms of evidence synthesis
This module will focus on providing an understanding of the broader forms of evidence synthesis, and their methods, with a particular focus on the role of complex reviews in clinical practice.
Such reviews include:
· Diagnostic test accuracy reviews
· Synthesis of clinical study reports
· Individual participant data (IPD)
· Non-randomised data
· Qualitative research
Students attending this course will gain insight into some of these more complex forms of evidence synthesis, as well as explore emerging forms of synthesis and learn how to incorporate these methods into a review protocol.
The module is aimed to enable students to:
· Recognise the need for the broader forms of evidence synthesis in healthcare
· Develop the skills needed to develop more advanced search strategies
· Understand the methods needed to conduct diagnostic test accuracy reviews
· Recognise the need and value of individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis
· Be familiar with clinical study reports, regulatory data and the challenges of conducting reviews of such data
· Understand the methods involved with conducting reviews of non-randomised data
· Become familiar with qualitative and mixed methods reviews
· Explore further emerging forms of evidence synthesis
