Your input is needed on a review considering whether giving an insulin-like hormone to premature babies can help reduce or avoid damage to their eyes (retinal neuropathy)
Skills / interests: Patient and public input
Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on whether giving an insulin-like hormone to premature babies can help reduce or avoid damage to their eyes (retinal neuropathy)?
I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Insulin-like growth factor-1 for the prevention or treatment of retinopathy of prematurity”
Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, retinal neuropathy), 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 experiencing this issue, 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!
