An official extension of the PRISMA 2009 Statement defining standard reporting items for systematic review in children is currently under development. A Delphi process to generate possible reporting standards for PRISMA-C and a consensus meeting have taken place in 2015. The evidence synthesis, Delphi survey and international consensus have been completed. The checklists have been finalized (available on request).
In February 2022 the group-updated their website saying that PRISMA-PC Statement and Explanation and Elaboration document will be published in Q2 2022.
