Critical Appraisal tools for use in JBI Systematic Reviews
INTRODUCTION
JBI is an international research organisation based in the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the
University of Adelaide, South Australia. JBI develops and delivers unique evidence-based information,
software, education and training designed to improve healthcare practice and health outcomes.With over
70Collaborating Entities, servicing over 90 countries, JBI is a recognised global leader in evidence-based
healthcare.

JBI Systematic Reviews


The core of evidence synthesis is the systematic review of literature of a particular intervention, condition
or issue. The systematic review is essentially an analysis of the available literature (that is, evidence) and a
judgment of the effectiveness or otherwise of a practice, involving a series of complex steps. JBI takes a
particular view on what counts as evidence and the methods utilised to synthesise those different types of
evidence. In line with this broader view of evidence, JBI has developed theories, methodologies and
rigorous processes for the critical appraisal and synthesis of these diverse forms of evidence in order to aid
in clinical decision-making in healthcare. There now exists JBI guidance for conducting reviews of
effectiveness research, qualitative research, prevalence/incidence, etiology/risk, economic evaluations,
text/opinion, diagnostic test accuracy, mixed-methods, umbrella reviews and scoping reviews. Further
information regarding JBI systematic reviews can be found in the JBI Evidence Synthesis Manual.

JBI Critical Appraisal Tools


All systematic reviews incorporate a process of critique or appraisal of the research evidence. The purpose
of this appraisal is to assess the methodological quality of a study and to determine the extent to which a
study has addressed the possibility of bias in its design, conduct and analysis. All papers selected for
inclusion in the systematic review (that is – those that meet the inclusion criteria described in the protocol)
need to be subjected to rigorous appraisal by two critical appraisers. The results of this appraisal can then
be used to inform synthesis and interpretation of the results of the study. JBI Critical appraisal tools have
been developed by the JBI and collaborators and approved by the JBI Scientific Committee following
extensive peer review. Although designed for use in systematic reviews, JBI critical appraisal tools can also
be used when creating Critically Appraised Topics (CAT), in journal clubs and as an educational tool.
