Rapid Reviews

The PSM landscape encompasses a heterogeneous group of diseases. So, it is imperative to conduct meticulous analyses of existing research and clinical trials. This methodical aggregation is aimed at addressing key questions spanning seven distinct disease sites, including Colorectal, Appendix, Gastric, Peritoneal Mesothelioma, Neuroendocrine Tumors, Minimally Invasive Surgery, and Palliative Care. Through this systematic approach, we aim to synthesize and interpret the extant data, facilitating the generation of evidence-based insights and recommendations. These insights will be instrumental in advancing clinical practice and in optimizing patient management and outcomes across the diverse spectrum of PSM.

Rapid Review Process (4 months)

Initial 1 to 1-5 months

1. Representatives from each group achieve consensus about key questions (with librarian)

2. Systematic literature review (2018-23)

3. Add articles to Covidence

4. Screening and data extraction by trainees - conflicts resolved by leads

Next 1 month

5. Delphi and peer review rounds as in 2018

Final 2 months

6. Society Endorsement

7. Drafting and Publication
