| Aim | To assess the methodological quality (AMSTAR) and reporting quality (PRISMA) of systematic reviews that informed clinical practice guidelines for ST-elevation myocardial infarction management. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | A number of deficiencies in PRISMA and AMSTAR adherence were noted across the 71 systematic reviews that had informed clinical practice guidelines for ST-elevation myocardial infarction management. These included disclosure of funding sources; risk of bias; and publication bias according to AMSTAR. PRISMA checklist completeness ranged from 44% to 96%. The PRISMA scores indicated that systematic reviews did not provide a full search strategy, study protocol and registration, assessment of publication bias or report funding sources |
