| Summary of Findings | From 142 systematic reviews underpinning clinical practice guidelines of management of head and neck cancer published between January 2017 and May 2021. A total of 16 Clinical Practive Guidlines (CPGs) and 142 unique Systematic Reviews were included. PRISMA completion ranged from 67.15% to 87.65% across CPGs with a mean of 76.41% (SD = 16.9). AMSTAR-2 completion ranged from 34.38% to 84.38% across CPGs with a mean of 67.55% (SD = 20.9) among all SRs. The lowest rated items included funding sources and publication bias. A higher score was achieved in Cochrane Systematic Reviews but they only accounted for 2.11% (3/142) of all Systematic Reviews. |
