Do you have experience with appendectomy and/or tumors on the appendix? Your input is needed on a review!

Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on appendix removal for people with tumors on the appendix?

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Early versus delayed appendicectomy for appendiceal phlegmon or abscess.” Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, appendix tumors), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing appendix tumors, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers.

Thank you in advance for considering!
