Resource tiered reviews – a provisional reporting checklist

The African Journal of Emergency Medicine recently published an editorial proposing the introduction, to reports of systematic reviews, of different levels of best evidence specifically for resource-restricted settings. The proposal would ensure that every systematic review would draw conclusions as is current practice but that additional levels of best available evidence would also be highlighted so that readers in resource-restricted settings could then obtain recommendations for the best evidence that it is possible for them to implement within their local setting.

A provisional checklist has been compiled and the authors are seeking feedback on the proposed checklist. To send comments and suggestions please email the Editor-in-Chief, Steven Bruijns: scbruijns@gmail.com
