Cochrane Rehabilitation REH-COVER (Rehabilitation – COVID-19 Evidence-based Response) action

The aim of REH-COVER is to focus on the timely collection, review, and dissemination of summarized and synthesized evidence relating to COVID-19 and rehabilitation. This will create an evidence-based answer repository to the newly-risen clinical questions and problems. The action was developed by an international multi-professional Steering Committee, whose role will continue to advise on all initiatives included in this action.  Dr. Pierre Côté is a member of the International Multiprofessional Steering Committee for Cochrane Rehabilitation REH-COVER.

The RCTs in Rehabilitation Checklist (RCTRaCk) Project

The aim of the RCTRaCk project is to produce a checklist of items to be followed in the reporting of RCTs in rehabilitation as an add-on to the CONSORT Non-Pharmacological Treatment Studies reporting checklist. 

Dr. Côté joined the RCTRaCk outcomes working group and IDRR Post Doctoral Fellow Dr. Dan Wang was the lead author in the resulting IDRR publication (below). Read all the articles about RCTRaCk published in a special section in the January 2021 issue of the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
