Nottingham Systematic Review Course and Diagnostic Test Accuracy CourseInfo Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionThe Nottingham Systematic Review Course is aimed at enabling participants to become proficient in developing and undertaking a Cochrane-style systematic review of interventions and a diagnostic test accuracy review. As this is an introductory course, no previous knowledge of systematic reviewing is required. The course utilises a combination of lectures, small group discussions, workshops and library-based interactive tutorials, with hands-on practical work at computer stations using Review Manager (RevMan) and reference management software. RevMan is the software used for preparing and maintaining Cochrane Reviews. The Diagnostic Test Accuracy workshop is aimed at healthcare practitioners, health services researchers, methodologists, scientists and other researchers who wish to conduct or appraise systematic reviews and meta-analyses of DTA studies; or those who use DTA reviews for making clinical and policy decisions about diagnostic tests. Systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) summarise evidence from primary studies that evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic tests. This introductory course will provide an overview of the steps in conducting a DTA systematic review. The interactive course will be a combination of presentations, group work and computer exercises. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/research/groups/cebhs/nottingham-systematic-review-course/index.aspx
