Abstract

Objective: to describe a guide for the development of systematic reviews of observational studies and systematization of international guidelines and tools, focusing on diverse evidence for innovation and clinical practice.
Method: this theoretical-conceptual study was initiated during the development of a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies, using international guidelines and tools.
Results: a guide was constructed to develop systematic reviews of observational studies. Diverse information about several stages and requirements for conducting a systematic review based on international guidelines and tools was systematized, aiming to ensure scientific rigor in manuscripts written by professionals from the health area.
Conclusion: this study contributes to research in the health area by innovatively synthesizing guidance on the systematic review method and approaches. The references herein used serve as a starting point for understanding the procedures and international tools necessary for a systematic review of observational studies.
