Cochrane Library
The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that provides high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decisions. It is a key resource for evidence-based medicine and is well-regarded by healthcare professionals and policymakers. Key Features of the Cochrane Library:
-
Cochrane Reviews: This is the core of the library. They are systematic reviews and meta-analyses that summarize and interpret the results of medical research. They are updated as new evidence becomes available to ensure they remain current.
-
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL): This is a concentrated source of reports on controlled trials from various databases and other published and unpublished sources.
-
Cochrane Clinical Answers: These provide user-friendly summaries of research from Cochrane Reviews, designed to be actionable and inform decision-making at the point of care.
-
Special Collections: These are curated collections of content on specific healthcare topics, such as COVID-19.
