Methodological guidance for rapid reviews in healthcare: A scoping review
AbstractThe aim of the present work was to identify published methodological guidance for rapid reviews (RRs) and to analyze the recommendations with regard to time-saving measures. A literature search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE in November 2020. In addition, a search based on Google Scholar and websites of governmental and non-governmental organizations was conducted. Literature screening was carried out by two researchers independently. A total of 34 publications were included. These describe 38 distinct RR types. The timeframe to complete the identified RR types ranges from 24  h to 6 months (mean time 2.2 mo...

Methodological guidance for rapid reviews in healthcare: a scoping review.
ConclusionThe included RR types are heterogeneous in terms of completion time, considered domains and strategies to alter the standard systematic review methods. A rationale for the recommended shortcuts is rarely presented.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Research Synthesis Methods)
