Did you or someone you know well experience vertebral artery stenosis? Your input is needed on a review considering percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for people with vertebral artery stenosis.

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for people with vertebral artery stenosis?

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for vertebral artery stenosis”.

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, vertebral artery stenosis), 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 feels relevant for those experiencing vertebral artery stenosis, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers in 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.

 

If you are interested in providing peer review, in your response please provide your e-mail address so that we can ensure you are enrolled in our Editorial Manager system and can receive the assignment officially.

Thank you in advance for considering!
