Hi everybody,
I am currently working on a systematic review looking into the language outcomes of children who underwent brain surgery. For the protocol, I was planning to follow the NIRO guidelines for non-interventional studies (Pickering et al., 2020), but Cochrane only seems to advise using the PRISMA guidelines. I was wondering if anyone has experience with using other guidelines than PRISMA during their systematic review and if this influenced their research (and later attempts to get it published) significantly?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
I would also have a look at the requirements of the journal you are planning to submit to. Some journals asks all reviews to follow the PRISMA guideline and submit the checklist with page numbers for each of the items.
Dear Svaldi,
Always follow PRISMA reporting guidelines and features stated on each individual journal authors' instructions.
Dear Svaldi, I think PRISMA suits well with your study. However, if you want to use any other guidelines, it will be better if you look at journal guidelines.
