47
What are the main stages of a systematic review?
1. Define a question and agreeing an objective method 2. A search for relevant data from research 3. Extraction of relevant date from research 4. Assess the quality of data by judging it against criteria identified at first stage 5. Analyse and combine data which give an overall result from all of the data

Assess the quality of data by judging it against criteria identified at first stage 5. Analyse and combine data which give an overall result from all of the data
49
Why do we use systematic reviews?
1. Allow us to efficiently integrate existing information and provide data for rational decision making 2. Establish whether findings are consistent and can be generalised across populations 3. Meta-analyses increase power and precision of estimates of treatment effects and exposure risks 4. Limit bias and improve reliability & accuracy of conclusions
50
When is ethical approval needed for research?
- When participants are under 18 y/o - When participants are over 18 y/o but are considered vulnerable - When research involves access to records of personal or sensitive confidential information - When research involves use of administrative or controlled data
51
A critical appraisal assesses a research study for its:
- Bias - Applicability - Limits - Value
52
What are the 3 questions to ask for each type of research design when performing a critical appraisal?
1. Are the results of the study valid? 2. What are the results? 3. Can I apply the results to this patient's care?
