Identification and Reporting of Patient and Public Partner Authorship on Knowledge Syntheses: Rapid Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research is an area of growing interest. Several studies have examined the use and impact of PPI in knowledge syntheses (systematic, scoping, and related reviews); however, few studies have focused specifically on the patient or public coauthorship of such reviews.

Objective

This study seeks to identify published systematic and scoping reviews coauthored by patient or public partners and examine the characteristics of these coauthored reviews, such as which journals publish them, geographic location of research teams, and terms used to describe patient or public partner authors in affiliations, abstracts, or article text.

Methods

We searched CAB Direct, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Ovid), Em
