Protocol: a systematic review of studies developing and/or evaluating search strategies to identify prognosis studies (2017)
Journal Article
Corp, N., Jordan, J. L., Hayden, J. A., Irvin, E., Parker, R., Smith, A., & van der Windt, D. A. (2017). Protocol: a systematic review of studies developing and/or evaluating search strategies to identify prognosis studies. Systematic Reviews, 6, Article 88. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-017-0482-y

BACKGROUND
Prognosis research is on the rise, its importance recognised because chronic health conditions and diseases are increasingly common and costly. Prognosis systematic reviews are needed to collate and synthesise these research findings, esp...

Brief pain re-assessment provided more accurate prognosis than baseline information for low-back or shoulder pain (2017)
Journal Article
Jordan, Dunn, & Van Der Windt. (2017). Brief pain re-assessment provided more accurate prognosis than baseline information for low-back or shoulder pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-017-1502-8

Background
Research investigating prognosis in musculoskeletal pain conditions has only been moderately successful in predicting which patients are unlikely to recover. Clinical decision making could potentially be improved by combining information...

Rating of Included Trials on the Efficacy-Effectiveness Spectrum (RITES): development of a new tool for systematic reviews (2017)
Journal Article
Van Der Windt, D. (2017). Rating of Included Trials on the Efficacy-Effectiveness Spectrum (RITES): development of a new tool for systematic reviews. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 95-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2017.01.010

AbstractBackground Randomized trials may be designed to provide evidence more strongly related to efficacy or effectiveness of an intervention. When systematic reviews are used to inform clinical or policy decisions, it is important to know the effic...
