Notes:
Drafted to search specifically for guidelines. This search block was developed by a group of medical information specialists. This project is funded by the Biomedical Information Specialists (BMI)-group. The project as a whole aims to develop a guideline (‘Leidraad’) for searching for guidelines in cooperation between the Knowledge Institute of the Federation of Medical Specialists (https://www.demedischspecialist.nl/kennisinstituut) and the BMI. The BMI is a working group of the KNVI (Royal Dutch Society for Information Professionals). The SIGN (https://www.sign.ac.uk/assets/search-filters-systematic-reviews.docx) and NICE-filters (from NICE guideline Age-related macular degeneration [NG82] (Jan 2018) (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng82/evidence/appendix-d-search-strategies-pdf-4723229201) formed the base material. We compared these and added possible relevant terms, e.g. from: Grant MJ, Booth A. A typology of reviews: an analysis of 14 review types and associated methodologies. Health Info Libr J. 2009;26(2):91-108. doi:10.1111/j.1471-1842.2009.00848.x. We tested our drafts against, amongst others, the systematic review-subset from PubMed and also on various subject searches relevant for guidelines. We included other types of systematic reviews, like scoping reviews, as well. This search block is both more specific and more extensive at the same time, because of the use of relevant terms as phrases.
