Neonatal Care

Do you have an interest in systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA)? Your input is needed!

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us provide patient/public feedback with this research article focused on the use of the Direct Antiglobulin Test (Coombs test) as a diagnostic test for newborns with suspected hemolysis?

When we say ‘patients and the public’, we mean patients and potential patients, carers, people who use health and social care services, and people or organizations that represent these groups. 

Systematic reviews of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) summarize the evidence about test accuracy. Ideally, they also investigate why the results may vary among studies, compare the performance of alternative tests, and help the reader to put the evidence in a clinical context. 

A protocol is a plan for a systematic review. Patient and public input at protocol stage is integral to ensure that the completed systematic review will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.   

If you are interested in providing peer review, please include your e-mail address in your response. This will allow us to confirm your enrolment in our editorial management system (called Editorial Manager) and ensure that you can receive the review assignment.  

Thank you in advance for your consideration!
