Rapid recommendations

Cochrane China Center, in conjunction with MAGIC China Center, has recently developed a Rapid Recommendations program. By developing and applying novel methods, researchers at both Centers are conducting systematic reviews and developing evidence-based recommendations in a defined duration that answer specific questions. The paper outlining the Rapid Recommendations framework has been published recently, and two pilot projects also have been completed.

In collaboration with researchers from McMaster University and MAGIC foundation, the researchers from our centers are also developing rigorous systematic reviews and rapid recomendations published in the prestigious British Medical Journal.
