Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is a set of guidelines designed to improve the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Pronunciation
PRISMA is pronounced as /ˈprɪzmə/.
Etymology
The term PRISMA is an acronym derived from "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses".
Definition
PRISMA is an evidence-based minimum set of items aimed at helping authors improve the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. It primarily focuses on the reporting of reviews evaluating randomized trials, but can also be used as a basis for reporting systematic reviews of other types of research.
History
PRISMA was developed in 2009 as an update and expansion of the QUOROM (Quality of Reporting of Meta-analyses) statement, which was published in 1999. The PRISMA statement was developed by a group of 29 review authors, methodologists, clinicians, medical editors, and consumers, and it is endorsed by several leading medical journals and organizations.
Components
The PRISMA statement consists of a 27-item checklist and a four-phase flow diagram. The checklist includes items deemed essential for transparent reporting of a systematic review. The flow diagram depicts the flow of information through the different phases of a systematic review.
