COVID-19 Resources for the VA Research Community (VA network access only) - This VA Office of Research and Development (ORD) SharePoint site continues to be updated and have content added as things develop.
Researchers from the HSR&D Evidence Synthesis Program are working with the World Health Organization to help synthesize publications about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, and to translate that information into usable guidance for clinicians. To date, the ESP group has completed three reports: "Risk of Transmitting COVID-19 During Nebulizer Treatment"; "Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay and Ventilation Days"; and "Corticosteroid Therapy & ARDS for COVID-19 Infection." More are in the works. These three reports can be found on www.covid19reviews.org. The goal is to capture the work of evidence-synthesis groups, like VA's, around the U.S. and the globe and thereby avoid duplication of effort and maximize the contribution of these researchers. The catalog will be maintained by the VA ESP Coordinating Center in Portland, Oregon. New evidence reviews and reviews in progress are identified through literature searching and correspondence with colleagues and content experts. The team has also set up a list-serve to facilitate collaboration among systematic review researchers.
