Number of systematic reviews included | 867 |
Summary of Findings | The inclusion of imaging specialists as authors was associated with a significant increase in the scientific quality (as judged by using a modified AMSTAR scale) of the systematic review from analysis of the 867 included systematic reviews of imaging. Imaging specialists were authors (in any position) in 330 (38%) of 867 systematic reviews; they were first authors of 176 systematic reviews and last authors of 161 systematic reviews. The median number of modified AMSTAR quality indicators was nine in systematic reviews with imaging specialists as authors, while that in systematic reviews without imaging specialists as authors was seven (P = .003). |
