This session describes the changes in DTA reviews in RevMan 5.2 and the introduction of the QUADAS 2 quality assessment tool.
We would advise all current DTA review authors to look at this presentation to ensure that they are aware of the changes that are being made.
Supplementary material is available on the SRDTA website at:
a) the changes made to the headings and sub-headings.
b) and related documents, namely the RevMan 5.2 tutorial and the Revman 5.2 Summary of Changes document.
Any feedback would be welcome (please send it to DTA-ET@contacts.bham.ac.uk).
