Abstract:

The aim of this study was to describe the process of creation and validation of a methodology to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews. From the expansion of the scope and additions of new items to the instrument Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) we looked for evidence of validity and reliability of the new methodology. Firstly, the scale was translated, adapted, expanded and evaluated by a panel of five experts. Then it was tested evaluating a random sample of five systematic reviews by three judges with no formal training in scale. Finally, the consolidated scale was assessed in a new panel by two judges. The expert reached a consensus regarding the validity of the proposed changes. For the scale total and per item score, the average agreement between judges was considered satisfactory in the consolidated scale. From the processes of adaptation and validation performed, the methodology in its final version consisted of 14 items that together indicate the methodological quality systematic reviews from different areas of knowledge.
