The first two were on the appropriateness of the topic: (1) the disease in question required long-term self-management, and (2) the reviews' research questions closely complemented each other in disease topic.
Indeed, some stakeholders did express concerns regarding the appropriateness of some topics for CER reviews, given a paucity of evidence to address these topics.
