Abstract

Objective: To determine the quality of systematic reviews submitted as a thesis in the Medical School of Ricardo Palma University.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review. We included systematic reviews submitted as theses from Ricardo Palma University, and we excluded narrative reviews, editorials, clinical experiments, and those with incomplete data. We performed a structured search on EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, and Institutional Repository from the Ricardo Palma University and RENATI. The risk of bias assessment was performed through the AMSTAR-2 and the modified AMSTAR-2 tools. The primary outcome was review quality. A qualitative synthesis of the information was performed.
Results: One thousand four hundred eighty-seven theses were identified, and exclusion criteria were applied, whereby 11 theses were selected for review and thorough consultation. Of the 11 selected theses, and through the AMSTAR-2 and modified AMSTAR-2 tools, the findings reached were that 90.9% of the included theses presented critically low quality that was not modified even when the quality was reevaluated after its publication as a scientific article.
Conclusion: The systematic reviews presented as undergraduate thesis in the Medical School of Ricardo Palma University showed low and critically low quality. Improvement in systematic review training is required for both students and institutional advisors.

Keywords: thesis, systematic review, medical school

秘鲁大学本科生论文《系统综述的质量评估》：系统综述

目的：确定里卡多-帕尔马大学医学院作为论文提交的系统综述的质量：确定里卡多-帕尔马大学医学院作为论文提交的系统综述的质量：我们进行了一项系统综述。我们纳入了里卡多-帕尔马大学作为论文提交的系统综述，并排除了叙事性综述、社论、临床实验以及数据不完整的综述。我们在 EMBASE、PubMed、Scopus、里卡多-帕尔马大学机构文献库和 RENATI 上进行了结构化检索。通过 AMSTAR-2 和修改后的 AMSTAR-2 工具进行了偏倚风险评估。主要结果是综述质量。对信息进行了定性综合：共确定了 1487 篇论文，并采用了排除标准，最终选择了 11 篇论文进行审查和全面咨询。在入选的 11 篇论文中，通过 AMSTAR-2 工具和修改后的 AMSTAR-2 工具得出的结论是，90.9% 的入选论文质量极低，即使在作为科学文章发表后对质量进行重新评估，也未对其进行修改：结论：里卡多-帕尔马大学医学院本科生毕业论文中的系统综述质量较低，甚至严重偏低。学生和院校导师都需要加强系统综述培训。
