Partner team overview

Lanzhou University Institute of Health Data Science logo

The Institute of Health Data Science at Lanzhou University was established in January 2020 and aims to accelerate the translation of evidence to practice in China.

Under the PEERSS partnership, the Institute of Health Data Science has worked to make evidence more accessible and decisions more collaborative in China.

With PEERSS funding and support, the Institute has worked to:

Disseminate social and health-related Chinese COVID-19 literature and share the Chinese experience with other countries and organizations.

Establish a COVID-19 Chinese evidence sharing platform which is accessible to researchers and decision-makers around the world.

Provide Chinese evidence and relevant policies to support other PEERSS partner teams.

Gain the trust of key decision-makers and stakeholders in the evidence-informed policymaking space.

Moving forward, partners from China will continue to promote evidence-informed policymaking by:

Conducting methodological research on the evidence-based social science ecosystem.

Holding stakeholder dialogues and workshops with key actors to promote international collaboration.

Conducting a rapid synthesis and developing a policy brief that is informed by that synthesis.

Issue Brief

Managing conflicts of interest in practice guidelines panels

Practice guidelines are an important innovation in patient care. According to the 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) definition, practice guidelines are “statements that include recommendations, intended to optimize patient care, that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options.”1 In the United States, guideline programs began in the early 1980s. As guidelines have been used for decisions about insurance coverage and standards for measuring quality of care, they have become increasingly influential, and conflict of interest (COI) in developing guidelines has become an important concern.

Clinical practice guidelines for COVID-19

In 2011, the United States-based Institute of Medicine (IOM) defined clinical practice guidelines as “statements that include recommendations, intended to optimize patient care, that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options”.1 In the past two decades, the number of global guidelines, whether in the field of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, or integrated Chinese and Western medicine, has been growing rapidly, and its methodology has become gradually advanced.2, 3, 4, 5 Around the development, implementation, and research of the clinical practice guidelines, professional organizations (such as the Guidelines International Network, GIN6) and working groups (such as the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) working group,7 Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) working group,8 Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) working group9) have been established. At the same time, the guideline methodologists have naturally become a new profession.10, 11

Issue brief on Treatment for COVID-19 Pandemic

The world is now desperate to find ways to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus and to find effective treatments. To date, there are more than 200 clinical trials of COVID-19 treatments or vaccines that are either ongoing or recruiting patients. New ones are being added every day. The drugs being tested range from repurposed flu treatments to failed ebola drugs, to malaria treatments that were first developed decades ago.

Avoidable Waste in the Production and Reporting of Evidence

The causes and degree of research waste occur in four sequential stages. But from our point of view, another very important factor we should consider is the affordability of access to published research articles. How much research is wasted because those who might benefit from it cannot afford to see its results?
