Abstract
Background: In the current systematic review and meta-analysis, there are many alternative review methods, such as scoping review, evidence map, rapid review and so on. Living systematic review is another one and it could be continuously updated and more efficient. However, when it is suitable to use living systematic review has become an important topic that needs further study and discussion.
Objectives: Through the evidence synthesis of the current living systematic review, to find the current using situations and using rules. To find the difference between living systematic review and other alternative review.
Methods: Through six electronic databases (e.g. MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, web of science, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang), all Chinese and English literature related to living systematic review and meta-analysis published from the establishment to March 31, 2020 were retrieved. In addition, through Google Scholar, Baidu Xueshu, gray literature, references included in the study, etc. for supplementary search. Moreover, the research team is an interdisciplinary research team. Two reviewers were independently screening literature according to the inclusion-exclusion criteria formulated in advance and consulted third-party when we have a dispute.
Results: The results will be presented in the Cochrane meeting.
Conclusions: Through our review, we can find that current living systematic review status, the difference between living systematic review and other reviews, and more clear to use living systematic review.
Patient or healthcare consumer involvement: None.
