Rigorous scoping review of randomized trials in pediatric critical care highlights need for a rigorous rethink
The randomized controlled trial (RCT) remains the highest-ranked study design when grading recommendations for clinical practice. In the previous issue of Critical Care, Duffett and colleagues published a scoping review of RCTs in pediatric critical care medicine and identified some serious gaps in the body of research underlying the field. Relatively few published RCTs were identified, and the...
متن کاملRandomized controlled trials in pediatric critical care: a scoping review
INTRODUCTION Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is required to guide treatment of critically ill children, but the number of RCTs available is limited and the publications are often difficult to find. The objectives of this review were to systematically identify RCTs in pediatric critical care and describe their methods and reporting. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS...
متن کاملHTA principles need rigorous review
To the Editor: In the article “Are key principles for improved health technology assessment supported and used by health technology assessment organizations?” by Neumann et al. (3), the authors set out to evaluate the quality of processes used by health technology assessment (HTA) programs based on a set of principles they published in this journal previously (2). We believe that portions of th...
متن کاملReproducibility of clinical research in critical care: a scoping review
BACKGROUND The ability to reproduce experiments is a defining principle of science. Reproducibility of clinical research has received relatively little scientific attention. However, it is important as it may inform clinical practice, research agendas, and the design of future studies. METHODS We used scoping review methods to examine reproducibility within a cohort of randomized trials exami...
متن کاملA RIGOROUS COMPARISON OF METHODS FOR MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES PURIFICATION USING RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT’s) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in a fluidized bed reactor under the flow of methane and hydrogen gases. A Cobalt-molybdenum/magnesium oxide (Co-Mo/MgO) nanocatalyst was used as the catalyst of the process. The samples were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The effects of d...
