Abstract:
This study aims to establish the standard items for conducting and reporting rapid review(RR) in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and promote the RR transparency in TCM. First, the basic standard items of conducting and reporting RR were reviewed, on the basis of which the basic RR implementation methods and steps were summarized. The initial item pool of RR implementation and reporting standards in TCM was established with the Delphi method. According to the identified items, two rounds of expert consultation were carried out. In the first round of expert consultation, experts judged the importance of each item in the RR implementation and reporting process and gave the corresponding weight score. According to the results in the first round of expert consultation, the relevant items were modified for the second round of expert consultation, in which experts were invited to score the importance of each item with consideration to the results from the first round. According to the results from preliminary research and expert consultation, the standard for conducting and reporting RR in TCM was formed. After two rounds of consultation, 12 first-level items and 24 second-level items were included. These items involved need positioning and working group establishment, research problem summarization, protocol formulation, literature retrieval, research screening, data extraction, methodological quality evaluation or risk of bias assessment, evidence organization, evidence assessment and grading, research report writing, RR product dissemination, post-effect evaluation and other fields. This study established the standard for conducting and reporting RR in TCM, which can be used as a reference for the RR methodology in TCM and provide evidence support for decision makers.
