Oral A tool to assess Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Exposures (ROBINS-E)
2020 Abstracts
Morgan, Taylor, Higgins, Rooney, Thayer, Schunemann, Sterne
Background: Systematic reviews should include rigorous risk-of-bias assessments of eligible studies.

Oral AMSTAR2 or ROBIS to teach evidence synthesis?
2020 Abstracts
Lee
Background:
Systematic reviews (SRs) are an important source of evidence that are used to inform decision making. As such, it is important that healthcare students are taught these on how to interpret, and judge the methodological quality of systematic reviews. Several tools currently exist to…
Oral Accelerating integration of emerging evidence into health care delivery: rapid reviews for learning health systems
2020 Abstracts
Hager, Jungbauer
Background: Ideally, clinical care is based on real-time, best available evidence. In reality, research findings take on average 17 years to translate into policy and practice. Developing and implementing health system guidelines using a rapid review process can reduce the time it takes to…
Oral Achieving evidence interoperability in the computer age: setting evidence on the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)
2020 Abstracts
Alper, Munn , Salas, Tristan, Brand, Lorio, Schilling
Evidence standard practice requires the use of research results to inform the computers that can add capacity for evidence-based practice by making the information from research results, standard the summarisations searchable and re-usable without labour-intensive manual screening and repetition of…
Oral Addressing interdependency of data when conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses
2020 Abstracts
Lietz, Sieben, Sauerland
Background:
Some clinical study designs require that interdependency of data (IoD) be addressed in the reporting of study results. In self-controlled and cross-over trials, patients form part of both the intervention and control groups. In other studies, multiple disease locations are measured in…
Oral Adjusting for exposure misclassification in an individual participant data meta-analysis of observational studies
2020 Abstracts
De Jong, Campbell, Jaenisch, Gustafson, Debray
Background
A common problem in the analysis of multiple data sources, including individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD-MA), is the presence of misclassification of binary variables. Misclassification may bias estimates of parameters (including covariate effects), even when the…
