PICO Framework

Seeking multiple robust research ideas for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses within the domains of Medicine and Surgery. We are interested in contributions across the following specialties:

Each topic submission must include a comprehensive protocol that incorporates the following elements:

PICO Framework:

Patient or Problem
Intervention
Comparison or Comparator
Outcome
Keywords: A set of specific terms related to the topic to facilitate focused research and retrieval of relevant data.

Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs): Links to, or preferably, a collection of downloaded RCTs studies specific to the topic. These studies should be the primary source of data for analysis, emphasizing the importance of high-quality, evidence-based research.

It is imperative that each proposed topic is novel and has not been previously explored or published. The uniqueness of the topic ensures the contribution of new knowledge to the medical field, avoiding duplication of efforts and fostering innovation in healthcare research.
