Have you or someone you know well been affected by complications related to very preterm birth? Your input is needed on a review considering cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring for very preterm infants to help prevent death or neurodevelopmental disability.
Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input
Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring for very preterm infants at risk of death or neurodevelopmental disability?
I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review: “Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring for prevention of death or neurodevelopmental disability in very preterm infants”.
Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, complications related to very preterm birth), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested in whether the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and relevant for those affected by very preterm birth, and whether it will be helpful to patients and carers when making healthcare decisions.
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!
