DP is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that results in severe face recognition problems. The prevalence of DP is estimated to be between 1.2 per cent – 4.0 per cent in children (Bennetts et al., 2017), making it almost as prevalent as severe dyslexia (~5%, The Dyslexia Association, 2019) and more common than autism (~ 0.6%, World Health Organisation, 2019). Individuals with DP can experience profound negative psychosocial consequences including anxiety, embarrassment and social isolation. The inability of children with DP to recognise caregivers also has important safety implications (Adams et al., 2020; Dalrymple et al., 2014).

Despite this, there are currently no formal guidelines as to how best to conduct a rapid review. One method is to begin with a narrow search, and to expand the search successively, until the number of new/additional publications considered potentially eligible, based on title and abstract alone, is less than 1% of the total number of publications found overall (at this point, one can be reasonably confident that expanding the search is unlikely to yield any considerable new information). One of the main advantages of this method is that it provides a rationale for terminating the search at a given point, thereby making it less time-consuming than many other methods, which require the reviewer(s) to screen all articles found in response to a comprehensive list of search terms. In this case study, we describe our experience using the aforementioned method to review the literature investigating factors associated with flexible sigmoidoscopy (‘bowel scope’) screening use, and the lessons learned from it. We also describe the problems encountered in performing our review, and the steps implemented to overcome them. Finally, we provide suggestions for methodological improvements for the benefit of those considering conducting a rapid review in the future.

Une estimation préalable de la densité des grands singes est nécessaire pour avoir une base de suivi des impacts de menaces spécifiques et pour évaluer le succès des programmes de conservation.

Plusieurs facteurs comme la chasse, la disparition des milieux naturels et les maladies infectieuses se conjuguent et entrainent une diminution spectaculaire des populations. Ce déclin se poursuit alors que les grands singes africains sont des espèces de préoccupation internationale pour la conservation et que des efforts concertés ont porté depuis les années 1980 sur la création de réseaux d'aires protégées, l'élaboration de plans d'action pour la conservation et l'établissement d'accords politiques. Selon les prévisions, les tendances actuelles se poursuivront en l'absence de mesures immédiates et majeures d'atténuation des menaces. La disparition d'une espèce de grands singes, quelle qu'elle soit, serait une immense perte en termes de biodiversité africaine, de rôle écologique et de notre patrimoine commun d'évolution.
