Cochrane Singapore and SCRI presented a two-day course on the systematic review of interventional studies and a one-day special topic on the systematic review of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies.
The two-day Basic Workshop provided essential guidance for the entire systematic review process, referring to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. It covered the topics of developing a focused question (PICO method) and effective literature search strategy, assessing the risk of bias of studies, conducting meta-analysis using Review Manager and understanding the results (e.g. forest and funnel plots) and heterogeneity.
The one-day Special Topic on DTA was designed for clinical and public health researchers, healthcare professionals and policymakers who are interested in understanding key issues in the design and conduct of Cochrane Reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA). It was based on guidelines from the Handbook for Diagnostic Test Accuracy Reviews.
The workshop was delivered through a mixture of interactive presentations, small-group discussions, and hands-on computer exercises.
