The promotion of health equity, the absence avoidable and unfair differences in outcomes, is a global imperative. Systematic reviews are an important source evidence for decision makers but have been found to lack assessments intervention effects on equity. Preferred Reporting Items Reviews Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 27-item checklist intended improve transparency reporting systematic reviews. We developed equity extension PRISMA (PRISMA-E 2012) help reviewers identify, extract, synthesize...
Evidence-based public health decision-making depends on high quality and transparent accounts of what interventions are effective, for whom, how at cost. Improving the reporting randomized non-randomized study designs through CONSORT TREND statements has had a marked impact designs. However, users systematic reviews have been concerned with paucity synthesized information context, development rationale, implementation processes sustainability factors.This paper examines existing frameworks...
Replication is an essential part of the scientific method, yet replication systematic reviews too often overlooked, and done unnecessarily or poorly. Excessive (doing same study repeatedly) unethical a cause research wastage. This article provides consensus based guidance on when to replicate not reviews.
Health innovation is often developed in response to local challenges, fueled from frontline health workers by unique needs and opportunities. Yet the power scale up vested high-level authorities that have limited understanding of contexts. How can global be sparked?

Abstract Background Addressing persistent and pervasive health inequities is a global moral imperative, which has been highlighted magnified by the societal impacts of COVID-19 pandemic. Observational studies can aid our understanding impact structural oppression based on intersection gender, race, ethnicity, age other factors, as they frequently collect this data. However, Strengthening Reporting Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guideline, does not provide guidance related to reporting...
Abstract Background The randomized controlled trial (RCT) is considered the gold standard study design to inform decisions about effectiveness of interventions. However, a common limitation inadequate reporting applicability intervention and results for people who are “socially disadvantaged” this can affect policy-makers’ decisions. We previously developed framework identifying health-equity-relevant trials, along with guideline transparent reporting. In study, we provide descriptive...
Background Randomised controlled trials can provide evidence relevant to assessing the equity impact of an intervention, but such information is often poorly reported. We describe a conceptual framework identify health equity-relevant randomised with aim improving design and reporting trials. Methods An interdisciplinary international research team engaged in iterative consensus building process develop refine via face-to-face meetings, teleconferences email correspondence, including...
Health equity concerns the absence of avoidable and unfair differences in health. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) can provide evidence about impact an intervention on health for specific disadvantaged populations or general populations; this is important equity-focused decision-making. Previous work has identified a lack adequate reporting guidelines assessing RCTs. The objective study to develop improve considerations RCTs, as extension Consolidated Standards Reporting Trials (CONSORT)....

Few methodological studies address the prioritization of clinical topics for development Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs). The aim this study was to validate a methodology Priority Determination Topics (PDT) CPGs. Firstly, we developed an instrument PDT with 41 criteria that were grouped under 10 domains, based on comprehensive systematic search. Secondly, performed survey stakeholders involved in CPGs development, and end users guidelines, using instrument. Thirdly, pilot testing...
