An Evaluation of the Reporting Quality of Emergency Department Systematic Reviews

Abstract

Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of nasal high-flow (NHF) therapy in many settings, including the emergency department (ED). Systematic reviews (SR) and meta-analyses (MA) of these studies have now emerged, particularly since the arrival of COVID-19. Accurately reported SRs and MAs can influence ED patient-centered outcomes. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was developed in 2009 to guide SR reporting quality. This evaluation used the PRISMA checklist to assess the reporting quality of selected ED SRs.
