- Description
- Living evidence syntheses are continually updated, systematically appraised summaries of research evidence. These may include living systematic reviews, living evidence briefs or living evidence-based guidelines.1, 2 Compared with non-living approaches, which are onerous to produce and become rapidly out of date, living evidence syntheses provide health system decision makers with highly reliable and, where appropriate, contextualised summaries of evidence as evidence emerges in near real-time. The Box illustrates the differences between a living and non-living evidence review. This revolutionary method of rapid evidence gathering, appraisal and synthesis, known as living evidence, has become feasible with methodological and technological advances in the past five to ten years.
