A quality assurance (QA) process was developed in which written reviews assess social relevance (merit review) as well as science (traditional peer review).
A standard form was designed to structure the data extraction process, using the headings: setting; aims; sample; methods; findings; relevance to review questions; and methodological critique.
Findings and Conclusions: Relevance: This review found the project relevant in that: It supported water and sanitation sector reforms in 10 ASAL districts located in different parts of northern Kenya.
Due to the lack of guidelines, it may be of relevance to review the type of end points published in recent follow-up studies of MOH patients.
For the β1AR, 12 nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified, but only two have being associated with possibly functional relevance (for review see [9]).
AR represents the ethical framework of a legitimate prioritization process as it encourages democratic deliberation through four conditions based on justice theory: relevance, publicity, review, and enforcement.
The group will be responsible for advising on the relevance of review questions, interpretation of findings and the dissemination of synthesis findings.
The results obtained from the literature search were prescreened for their project relevance by reviewing their titles and abstracts.
All studies identified in the electronic search were first assessed for relevance by reviewing the titles, abstracts and descriptor/MeSH terms.
To enhance the relevance of reviewed studies to the current context of hepatitis C and its management, we excluded studies published before January 2000, limited to the end of the last full calendar year at the time of the review – December 2009.
