The purpose of a systematic review is to identify, appraise and summarise the research evidence around a specific research question. A systematic review identifies clinical practices with high‐level research evidence that are recommended for knowledge translation. It can highlight knowledge gaps that may inform research priorities and agendas or identify common clinical practices that are recommended for discontinuation as they lack high‐level research evidence. Systematic reviews provide an evidence‐based foundation that guides knowledge translation, knowledge generation and scholarly discussion, an essential element of a profession's growth.
