Ref.: (LML) Replacing opinions with research: a systematic review
From: Nienke Veldhuijzen, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear Pieter,
The following systematic review is interesting for the recent discussion on LML about 'replacing opinions with research':
World Health Organization (WHO) antibiotic regimen against other regimens for the treatment of leprosy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lazo-Porras M, Prutsky G, Barrionuevo P, et al. BMC infectious diseases. 2020; 20 (1) : 62 Lazo-Porras M, Prutsky G, Barrionuevo P, et al. BMC infectious diseases. 2020; 20 (1) : 62
The conclusion of the authors is as follows:
"not better treatment than the implemented by the WHO was found. Diverse outcome and treatment regimens were studied, more statements to standardized the measurements of outcomes are needed".
Kind regards,
