| Aim | To assess the methodological quality of published systematic reviews on strategies that could be implemented to prevent burnout among rheumatologists, indexed in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, Medline, and PsycInfo between 2011 and 2022. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | Out of the 15 included systematic reviews on strategies that could be implemented to prevent burnout among rheumatologists, indexed in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, Medline, and PsycInfo between 2011 and 2022, 9 (60%) were rated critically low using AMSTAR 2. Only 2 (13.3%) reviews explicitly noted registration of a protocol prior to conducting the review or provided a list of excluded studies with justification. Fourteen reviews (93.3%) did not report sources of funding for the included studies. Five (33.3%) reviews did not conduct a risk of bias assessments for the primary studies, and of those that did only 7 (46.6%) accounted for risk of bias in the interpretation of results. |
