Systematic Reviews for Research Planning
Using systematic reviews as a tool for planning new studies and interpreting their results is essential for evidence-based research. This involves understanding the implications for researchers, editors, and funding agencies, as well as following the Bergen Statement of Evidence-Based Research. The flowchart outlines the process from formulating a research question to making recommendations for future studies.

Presentation Transcript
THEME GROUP Systematic reviews as a tool to plan new studies and interpret their results Introducing the
Day 1 1. Presentation and discussion of the Evidence-Based Research concept. 2. Group working: the implications of EBR for 1. Researchers 2. Editors 3. Funding agencies
Day 1 examples 1. Implications for researchers: USERs or DOERs 2. Implications for editors: Criteria to assess a valid SR (minimum) and training in how to apply them 3. Implications for funding agencies: Need for new research should be supported by: a) pat/clin's preferences; b) a SR showing the need
Day 2 1. Presentation of "The Bergen Statement of Evidence-Based Research". 2. Plenum discussion of the statement. 3. Adjustments and clarification of the statement
Day 2 examples Aim of the Bergen Statement of EBR: No new studies without an adequate SR of existing evidence showing that the research is justified Outline of the Bergen Statement of EBR: 1. AIM 2. OBJECTIVES 3. IMPLICATIONS 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
FLOWCHART OF EBR Formulate preliminary research question Search for relevant SRs Search for relevant ongoing trials Found? NO YES Scope new SR Assess quality and scope Search for relevant primary studies Adequate? NO YES Select relevant studies for inclusion Assess currency Adequate? NO Critically appraise included studies YES Summarise results Assess PICOT, methods and results Use studies to Formulate final research question Inform the design of the new study Justify new research in ethical approval and funding applications Integrate new study results with prior research findings Prepare study report for publication Make recommendations for future research
