Do you or a loved one have ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disease)? Your input is needed on a review considering if the medications azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine are effective in long-term treatment of ulcerative colitis
Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input
Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on the medications azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine for treating the symptoms of ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disease)?
I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine for maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis”.
Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, ulcerative colitis), 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 ulcerative colitis, 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!
