Cochrane reviews inform WHO Guidelines for preterm infant care 

1 month 4 weeks ago

Cochrane’s systematic reviews are playing a key role in informing the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines for managing preterm infants, including respiratory interventions. These reviews, led by Cochrane Sweden and Cochrane Neonatal, are providing the evidence that is directly shaping recommendations on treatments like caffeine therapy to support lung function in preterm babies. 

Preterm birth remains one of the leading causes of infant mortality worldwide. In response, the WHO regularly updates its guidelines to enhance care and improve outcomes for these vulnerable infants. By basing its recommendations on the latest and most reliable data from Cochrane reviews, the WHO ensures that its guidance remains both relevant and evidence based. 

“Our guideline development process is very rigorous and evidence-based,” says Marge Reinap Technical Officer, Evidence-based Policy at the WHO. “All our questions and recommendations rely on evidence synthesis. Without evidence synthesis, the guideline development panel cannot issue a recommendation. The evidence synthesis developed by Cochrane is instrumental and serves as the pillar point of WHO’s normative guidance, facilitating discussions and forming recommendations.”  

The collaboration began when the WHO commissioned Cochrane Sweden and Cochrane Neonatal to conduct systematic reviews on interventions for preterm infants. These reviews, led by Matteo Bruschettini, Director of Cochrane Sweden, explored the evidence around caffeine to improve health outcomes for preterm infants. Studies have shown that caffeine therapy improves lung function and reduces both mortality and long-term disabilities in preterm infants. 

The impact of these Cochrane reviews on WHO guidelines was immediate. The evidence gathered was directly incorporated into the WHO’s updated recommendations on the care of preterm infants, giving healthcare providers around the world clear, evidence-based guidance to improve the survival and health outcomes of these infants. 

Beyond influencing global policy, Cochrane Sweden is now working on adapting the WHO guidelines for the Swedish healthcare system. This framework, known as ‘GRADE ADOLOPMENT’, involves modifying guidelines made by others to fit specific national contexts. GRADE refers to the ‘Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation’ approach, while ‘ADOLOPMENT’ means adopting, adapting, and/or developing new recommendations. 

“Combining the strengths of the Cochrane network, evidence and methodologies with the GRADE ADOLOPMENT framework is very helpful for making recommendations applicable to the Swedish setting,” says Matteo Bruschettini. “It’s an efficient way to make tailored recommendations based on solid foundations, without duplicating efforts.” 

Cochrane Sweden, in collaboration with the WHO and members from the GRADE Working Group are working towards that the adapted guideline are tailored to the Swedish needs and healthcare environment while maintaining the same high standard of evidence-based recommendations. 

While WHO’s guidelines provide a comprehensive framework, countries often need to adjust them to align with their healthcare systems. In Sweden, Cochrane’s work focuses on ensuring that the guidelines not only address local concerns but also meet the practical needs of healthcare providers. This demonstrates how robust global evidence can be translated into actionable, country-specific recommendations. 

“We’re in the process of making guidelines made by others more used in the Swedish setting,” says Martin Ringsten, Project Coordinator at Cochrane Sweden. “It would save a lot of time and resources to use the evidence included in guidelines made by others. Guideline developers can then adopt or adapt recommendations and add contextual evidence where it’s needed.”  

Cochrane Sweden’s involvement in the development and adaptation of these guidelines and included systematic reviews highlights how systematic reviews inform clinical guidelines and public health policy. This collaboration ensures that healthcare recommendations are based on the best available evidence and contextualized to the applicable settings, thereby enhancing the quality and relevance of healthcare practices at both global and national levels. 

The process of using and contextualizing guidelines for specific settings illustrates how Cochrane reviews integrated into these guidelines can directly impact healthcare practice and policy, both globally and nationally.

Cochrane helps launch new WHO guidance on best practices for clinical trials

1 month 4 weeks ago

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently launched new guidance on best practices for clinical trials. The document aims to reinforce global standards in the organization, design, conduct, analysis and reporting of clinical trials. It responds to calls in World Health Assembly resolution 75.8, which emphasized the urgent need to enhance both global and national clinical trial ecosystems to generate high-quality evidence on health interventions. 

Cochrane’s Editor in Chief, Dr Karla Soares-Weiser, contributed to the technical advisory group established to support the resolution and this guidance. 

The WHO guidance offers practical recommendations to assist national health authorities, regulatory authorities, funders and others in facilitating effective clinical trials and research. Key recommendations centre on improving trial design to ensure the relevance of research; an emphasis on scientific and ethical standards; strengthening of capacity and support for sustainable research infrastructure; enhancing clinical trial transparency; and reforms to enable underrepresented groups to participate in clinical trials. 

Eva Madrid, the Lead of Cochrane’s new Iberoamérica Evidence Synthesis Unit, spoke on the panel of the launch event for the new guidance. She highlighted the need for greater engagement between those conducting clinical trials and the evidence synthesis community. Eva stated: 

“Disregarding existing evidence leads to redundant findings and fails to prioritize the gaps that we need to fill, missing the opportunity to resolve clinical uncertainties with clinical trials." 

In his opening  statement, Dr Jeremy Farrar, WHO Chief Scientist, said: “Clinical trials are the bedrock of clinical and public health policymaking and evidence informed policymaking” and urged that they should not only be set up in times of crisis and are used for “answering critically important and clinical and public health questions all of the time.”

Cochrane Ireland and Cochrane Crowd empower citizen scientists in The People’s Review

1 month 4 weeks ago

Cochrane is excited to announce The People’s Review, a project designed to empower individuals worldwide to take part in a systematic review. The People’s Review invites the public to learn about systematic reviews by directly participating in the process. The People's Review is brought to you by Evidence Synthesis Ireland and Cochrane Ireland.

The People’s Review will be hosted on the Cochrane Crowd platform, which already supports various citizen science tasks related to systematic reviews. It will help guide participants through eight interactive stages— from choosing the review question to sharing the final results.

What Makes The People’s Review Special?

In an age of overwhelming information and online health advice, it’s crucial to have tools that allow individuals to navigate complex medical data. Systematic reviews offer a structured and reliable way to assess healthcare treatments. By involving the public in conducting one, The People’s Review seeks to demystify the process and equip participants with essential critical thinking skills for health decision-making.


 Éle Quinn, is a PhD student at University of Galway and is working alongside Evidence Synthesis Ireland and Cochrane Ireland on this project. Éle is the lead behind The People’s Review and shares her enthusiasm for the project and its potential impact:

"The People’s Review opens up the world of systematic reviews to the public, giving people the opportunity to directly participate in and learn about evidence-based healthcare. We believe that everyone has the right to be involved in research, and this project brings that vision to life!"

The Cochrane Crowd platform hosts tasks that help identify and describe health research for systematic reviews. Many within the Crowd community have fed back that the experience helps build skills around understanding health evidence. Each task is always supported by brief (and fun!) interactive training, and any contribution is welcome. Anna Noel-Storr, Cochrane Crowd Lead adds:

"We’re thrilled to be part of this exciting initiative. Cochrane Crowd has always been about engaging the public in evidence production, and The People’s Review is the next step in empowering individuals to contribute to systematic reviews directly."

Maureen Smith, a long-time advocate for public involvement in health research, Chair of the Cochrane Consumer Network Executive, and member of ‘Team People’s Review’ highlights the importance of this project:

"The People’s Review involves people in producing evidence, and by doing so it helps to build knowledge about evidence that people need to make informed health choices."

Get Involved and Stay Updated

Everyone, regardless of background or experience, is welcome to join The People’s Review. Whether you have a smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can participate from anywhere in the world. This project is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all.

Be part of this unique opportunity to engage with health research! The project will go through 8 different stages. To stay informed about opportunities to get involved, sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about each new step in The People’s Review.

 

The People’s Review is funded by the Health Research Board (Ireland) (ESI-2021-001) and the HSC Research and Development Division of the Public Health Agency (Northern Ireland) through Evidence Synthesis Ireland and Cochrane Ireland. Éle Quinn’s PhD studentship was funded by the College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Galway, Ireland through Evidence Synthesis Ireland.

Water fluoridation less effective now than in past

2 months ago

An updated Cochrane review has found that the dental health benefits of adding fluoride to drinking water may be smaller now than before fluoride toothpaste was widely available. 

The team of researchers from the Universities of Manchester, Dundee and Aberdeen reviewed the evidence from 157 studies which compared communities that had fluoride added to their water supplies with communities that had no additional fluoride in their water. They found that the benefit of fluoridation has declined since the 1970s, when fluoride toothpaste became more widely available. 

The contemporary studies were conducted in high-income countries. The impact of community water fluoridation in low- and middle-income countries is less clear, due to the absence of recent research.  

Fluoride, used in many commercially available toothpastes and varnishes, is known to reduce tooth decay. Governments in many countries have added fluoride to the drinking water supply to improve population oral health, although there are polarized views on whether this is the right action to take.  

“When interpreting the evidence, it is important to think about the wider context and how society and health have changed over time,” says co-author Anne-Marie Glenny, Professor of Health Sciences Research at the University of Manchester. “Most of the studies on water fluoridation are over 50 years old, before the availability of fluoride toothpaste. Contemporary studies give us a more relevant picture of what the benefits are now.”  

Results from studies conducted after 1975 suggest that the initiation of water fluoridation schemes may lead to slightly less tooth decay in children’s baby teeth. Analysis of these studies, covering a total of 2,908 children in the UK and Australia, estimates that fluoridation may lead to an average of 0.24 fewer decayed baby teeth per child. However, the estimate of effect comes with uncertainty, meaning it’s possible that the more recent schemes have no benefit. By comparison, an analysis of studies with 5,708 children conducted in 1975 or earlier estimated that fluoridation reduced the number of decayed baby teeth, on average by 2.1 per child.  

The same contemporary studies (conducted after 1975) also looked at the number of children with no decay in their baby teeth. The analysis found that fluoridation may increase the number of children with no tooth decay by 3 percentage points, again with the possibility of no benefit. 

The review was only able to draw conclusions about the impact on children’s teeth, with similar findings across both baby and permanent teeth. There were no studies with adults that met the review’s criteria.  

“The evidence suggests that water fluoridation may slightly reduce tooth decay in children,” says co-author Dr Lucy O’Malley, Senior Lecturer in Health Services Research at the University of Manchester. “Given that the benefit has reduced over time, before introducing a new fluoridation scheme, careful thought needs to be given to costs, acceptability, feasibility and ongoing monitoring.” 

Advocates have suggested that one of the key benefits of water fluoridation is that it reduces oral health inequalities. This updated review sought to examine this question and did not find enough evidence to support this claim, although this doesn’t necessarily mean there is no effect. 

The review’s findings accord with recent observational studies including the LOTUS study, which compared anonymised dental health records with water fluoridation status for 6.4 million adults and adolescents in England between 2010 and 2020. People in fluoridated areas needed slightly fewer invasive dental treatments with no significant impact on inequalities. 

“Contemporary evidence using different research methodologies suggest that the benefits of fluoridating water have declined in recent decades,” says Tanya Walsh, Professor of Healthcare Evaluation at the University of Manchester, co-author on both the Cochrane review and the LOTUS study. “Oral health inequalities are an urgent public health issue that demands action. Water fluoridation is only one option and not necessarily the most appropriate for all populations.” 

“Whilst water fluoridation can lead to small improvements in oral health, it does not address the underlying issues such as high sugar consumption and inadequate oral health behaviours,” says co-author Janet Clarkson, Professor of Clinical Effectiveness, University of Dundee. “It is likely that any oral health preventive programme needs to take a multi-faceted, multi-agency approach.”

Cochrane welcomes global commitment to evidence synthesis

2 months 1 week ago

At the United Nations Summit of the Future, two major funding bodies announced £54.2 million of new funding for evidence synthesis: £45 million from Wellcome and £9.2 million from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

The announcements represent significant investment in evidence synthesis to help tackle global inequity and address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Cochrane was represented at the summit by our Editor in Chief, Dr Karla Soares-Weiser.

“It is invigorating to see major global funders recognizing the importance of evidence synthesis in addressing the challenges facing the world today and in the future,” says Karla. “This significant investment has the potential to catalyze a step change in evidence synthesis, making it more timely, relevant and equitable. Cochrane has a proud history of advancing evidence synthesis, and we stand ready to support this vital global effort. I am especially excited at the potential to reduce global inequities in both producing and accessing high-quality evidence.”

Both funding calls are aimed at building infrastructure to support rapid evidence synthesis projects so that policymakers have access to the latest evidence on a given topic. The Wellcome announcement focuses on ‘living evidence synthesis’, where systematic reviews are continually updated so they always reflect the latest evidence. Wellcome’s announcement notes that ‘the Cochrane Collaboration, which produces gold-standard evidence syntheses in medicine, increasingly backs living evidence models’.

Living evidence

Cochrane is a pioneer of living systematic reviews, having published the world’s first living systematic reviews in 2017. Lessons from the pilot project were published in 2019, in a project co-led by Professor Tari Turner at Cochrane Australia, who serves on Cochrane’s Editorial Board and is Academic Director of the Australian Living Evidence Collaboration.

“It’s fantastic to see this global commitment to living evidence and recognition of Cochrane's leadership in this area,” says Tari. “The new funding is fantastic news for both evidence synthesis professionals and decision-makers who need up-to-date evidence. Living reviews come with many opportunities and challenges which we identified in our pilot programmes, and it’s great to see them getting the attention they deserve.”

Cochrane’s pioneering role in living evidence

2 months 1 week ago

As the pace of new research accelerates, keeping systematic reviews up-to-date with the latest evidence has become increasingly vital. Cochrane is at the forefront of this evolution with our leadership in living systematic reviews (LSRs)—a dynamic approach that ensures evidence remains current and relevant.

What's a systematic review?
A systematic review attempts to identify, appraise, and synthesize all the empirical evidence that meets pre-specified eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question. Researchers conducting systematic reviews use explicit, systematic methods that are selected with a view aimed at minimizing bias, to produce more reliable findings to inform decision making. 

For those new to the concept, here's a short video from Cochrane Consumers and Communication that explains what a systematic review is, how researchers prepare them, and why they’re a crucial part of making informed health decisions  - both for professionals and the public.

What is living evidence?
Living evidence refers to a systematic review that is continually updated to incorporate new and relevant information as it becomes available. Unlike traditional systematic reviews, which may be updated infrequently or not at all, living systematic reviews (LSRs) are underpinned by ongoing, active monitoring of the evidence base.

Key Features of LSRs:

  • Continual Monitoring: LSRs involve regular, often monthly, searches for new evidence.
  • Immediate Updates: New important evidence, including data, studies, or information, is promptly included.
  • Up-to-Date Communication: The status of the review and any new evidence are communicated clearly and regularly.

While LSRs employ the same core review methods as other Cochrane Reviews, they also incorporate predefined and transparent decisions on how frequently new evidence is sought, how it is integrated, and the rationale behind these decisions. Cochrane continues to innovate by providing updated information on the status of our reviews and each updated review is assigned a new citation and DOI, linking it to previous versions and ensuring the most current evidence is available.

Why living systematic reviews?

LSRs represent a significant advancement in evidence synthesis, connecting evidence and practice more seamlessly than traditional methods. They are hugely valuable to healthcare professionals, decision-makers, guideline developers,  policy-makers, funders, consumers (patients and carers), and publishers who require up-to-date evidence for informed decision-making.

Technological advancements, such as online platforms, linked data, and machine learning, have made large-scale living evidence approaches feasible. The growth of collaborative research, open data initiatives, and citizen science also supports the maintenance of high-value datasets and LSRs - areas that Cochrane is also leading.

Cochrane’s role and innovations

Since launching the world's first pilot living reviews in 2017, Cochrane has been a trailblazer in this field. Professor Tari Turner, member of the Cochrane Library Editorial Board and Director of the Australian Living Evidence Collaboration based at  Cochrane Australia, has been instrumental in developing and applying living evidence approaches. According to Tari:

"Living evidence synthesis is transforming how we navigate uncertainty and make evidence accessible. By continually updating our living reviews, Cochrane is ensuring that decision-makers have the most current information at their fingertips."

Living systematic reviews are a testament to Cochrane's commitment to producing evidence that is not only trustworthy but also continuously relevant. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to leading in this space and advancing the field of evidence synthesis.
