The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) is a set of guidelines designed to improve the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. These guidelines ensure that the research findings are transparent, complete, and replicable, thereby enhancing the validity and reliability of the conclusions drawn. PRISMA is essential in the field of Epidemiology as it helps synthesize data from various studies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of public health issues.
